Getting to know Catherine Castillo

Hi there, I'm Catherine! My name is Catherine Castillo, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master?s in Social Work from California State University, Long Beach, and a Bachelor?s from San Diego State University. I would be honored to assist you on your path toward a more hopeful today and a better tomorrow. You will be treated warmly, with patience, and without judgment. Together, we will look at what is concerning you and how to overcome your current challenges. My approach I am an integrative therapist with 14 years of experience. I will support you as you explore and experience your feelings and beliefs, and share strategies to overcome unhelpful thinking and behaviors. I will help you understand your attachment wounds and triggers, and teach you how to improve boundary-setting and communication. My focus I specialize in working with adults experiencing difficulties with relationships, parenting, life transitions, or trauma. Often, depression, anxiety, or anger is initially present. I am trained in EMDR for trauma, ExRP for obsessions and compulsions, and Seeking Safety for relapse prevention. My communication style I seek to create a caring and compassionate space where you feel safe to talk about anything. My clients often tell me they feel able to share what is really going on. Although opening up is not easy, I assure you it will be worth it. My journey to mental healthcare Compassion is seeing suffering and wanting to do something about it. Since college, I have been in the helping professions, striving to improve others' well-being. I hope you will feel that I care about you and can assist you on your path to feeling better. I look forward to our journey together! My goals for you I find that asking clients how they want to grow is a useful way to approach goal-setting. I also ask what they want to do better or differently. Feeling better often results from learning new skills and practicing them.
