Getting to know Carolina Castillo

Im a Bilingual English/Spanish-speaking therapist with a Marriage and Family License, with 19 years of clinical experience, 15 years licensed and in private practice. I consider myself to be bicultural. Having been raised as a first-generation American in a Latin family, I can identify with the mentality of someone living within two "worlds". Transitioning from one culture to another with seemingly different values, beliefs and language. I can easily understand the struggle that maintaining, and existing in both, can sometimes be. I've come to perceive and appreciate it as the gift of having a "bridge" that allows connection to, and understanding of, different aspects of people and life. My education has a foundation in Clinical Psychology, woven with holistic transpersonal themes, the connection between mind, body, and spirit, and just plain down-to-earth common sense. Always keeping in mind the client's personal beliefs and values.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Ideally, aims for treatment are- Insight, Clarity, Identification of authentic wants/needs and how to achieve them, through support, emotional/mental processing and realistic problem resolution. Beginning with identifying the "presenting problem", discussing what specifically motivated you to seek help now, and gathering information about your life and background, in order to pinpoint what may be focus of ongoing sessions. Subsequent sessions can include attempts to find repetitive emotional patterns or mental beliefs, whether "positive" and therefore will be re-enforced, or modifying "negative" elements that may be obstacles to growth. Using the strengths and mitigating the blocks, we will continue to discuss your personal goals and how to best progress towards them.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
