Getting to know Carolina Castillo

There are times in life when a little extra help is needed, whether due to special circumstances or a lifelong struggle. This can manifest as depression, anxiety, physical illness, a feeling of “stuckness” in life, or an overall sense of dissatisfaction. For those times, therapy can be a wonderful tool. I consider therapy an art, as every individual and every session is different. I focus treatment on awareness of self-helping you to know yourself, your own wants, needs, and desires, how you envision yourself in the future, and how I can guide you to reach this vision. Drawing from several main theories, I integrate Transpersonal/Holistic approaches to see you as a whole person and work with you on many levels, including spiritual, if that is what you choose; Psychodynamic methods to explore any past experiences that may be affecting the present; Cognitive Behavioral techniques to replace negative, erroneous beliefs that may prevent growth and to implement new strategies that help you cope and grow; and Humanistic principles, believing that we all have great potential and I want to help you achieve yours. Your therapy, life, and overall growth are in your control. I am here as a guide, facilitator, supporter, and at times, devil's advocate-all with the intention of fostering awareness, growth, and progress, whatever that may mean to you. I hold a PsyD from California Southern University, which informs my compassionate and comprehensive approach to therapy.
