Getting to know George Castro

Hello, my name is George A. Castro, LMFT, and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I love working with individuals, couples, and families. I approach therapy from a humanistic, person-centered perspective, treating everyone with empathy, compassion, and respect for the challenges they may be facing. My expertise includes anxiety, depression, and trauma, with a particular strength in working with young adults and teenagers. I earned my Master's degree in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling from California State University, Dominguez Hills. This education has equipped me with a solid foundation to support my eclectic therapeutic approach. I integrate humanistic, solution-focused, and cognitive behavioral modalities, along with mindfulness and guided meditation techniques, to help reduce anxiety and depression while increasing self-esteem and overall well-being. I am very empathetic and intuitive, often following the client's lead in sessions. I work with all types of people using a strengths-based approach. I am comfortable treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and other life challenges. I am also familiar with addiction and substance-related issues such as co-dependency and personality diagnoses. My experience includes working with both inpatient and outpatient clients, and I am knowledgeable about severe mental illness and co-occurring disorders. I strive to create a serene and peaceful environment where clients feel comfortable and calm. I meet clients where they are on their journey to wellness, fostering a supportive space for growth. Therapy is my life's purpose. Having been in the helping professions in various roles for most of my life, I am driven to use my empathy, intuition, and compassion to empower others to live their best lives. My goal is to collaborate with clients by asking what they would like to work on and supporting them as they develop their own goals for therapy.
