Getting to know Claire Castle
Hello, my name is Claire Castle, and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Long Beach, California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I hold a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Southern California. I work with adolescents and adults, specializing in LGBTQ+ issues, gender identity, women’s issues, neurodivergence, anxiety, and depression. Using Interpersonal Neurobiology, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Narrative Therapy, I provide my clients with validation and teach them an expanded emotional vocabulary so they can live the best version of their lives. My approach I tailor therapy based on the unique story of each client I am privileged to work with. I frequently draw from Interpersonal Neurobiology, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Narrative Therapy techniques that affirm your experience and teach emotional regulation so we can collaborate on re-authoring your life. My focus I specialize in working with teens and adults struggling to find a school/life or work/life balance or to connect with their authentic selves. When we create a negative identity, it often manifests as anxiety, depression, loneliness, and dissatisfying relationships. I partner with clients to help them connect with their authentic selves, build healthy boundaries, and re-author their lives to create healthy relationships with themselves and loved ones. My communication style My communication style is positive, affirming, and genuine. I want clients to feel safe and comfortable talking with me about anything. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space through empathy, validation, love, and kindness. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because I believe we have the power to heal the world one person at a time. I believe in the transformative power of kindness, empathy, gratitude, and compassion.. I believe in the transformative power of kindness, empathy, gratitude, and compassion.
