Getting to know Christine Castorino

You might be feeling distress, restlessness, or unease. You might be wondering what’s driving your interactions with others, questioning where certain emotions or motivations stem from. You might be feeling a lack of purpose, anxiety, a pressure to perform, or that you are not living your life as authentically as you once did. You may have even had a moment of, “Well, how did I get here?” If this is you, I may be able to help.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I work psychoanalytically, which involves developing awareness of recurrent emotional and behavioral patterns. I welcome your feelings, thoughts, memories, and dreams, as they can offer insight as to what may be at the core of your struggles. Therapy can be a helpful medium for exploring the landscape of your experience, in order to understand the roots of your distress and shift you towards a life that feels reflective of who you are. In our space, we will explore the intricacies of your emotional world and understand the influence of your past experiences on what has made you you.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Once you contact me, we will set up an initial appointment where we can explore working together. In that initial session, you can let me know what brings you to therapy and how you hope it will help. During our initial appointment we'll start getting a sense of whether it would be a good fit to work with each other. If we decide to continue working together, I'll suggest to meet at least weekly, so that we can start developing a consistent flow to our work together. Sessions are usually 55 minutes long.

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance

More information on payments and coverage

I am in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) PPO plans. If you have this type of plan, we will submit insurance claims directly. You might be responsible for part of the cost if you have a deductible or a copay. We will try to verify benefits before our first appointment, so that we have an idea of what to expect. When contacting me, please remember to add a photo of your insurance card. If you have a different insurance provider (not BCBS PPO), you will be responsible for our full fee each session. We will provide you a bill that you can use to seek reimbursement from your insurance company, provided that your plan has out-of-network benefits.
