Heather Castro, LPC

Heather Castro, LPC

Psychotherapist
VA
I have a genuine interest in understanding where you come from, learning about the current challenges in your life that cause pain, and creating change in order for you to lead a more productive and fulfilling life. I think one of the most important aspects to creating change is joining with you by building a trusting, safe environment from the start. From there, I gently encourage an exploration of challenges that cause barriers to creating change. I enjoy working with individuals and groups specializing in the treatment of mood disorders and addictions. I utilize a psychodynamic approach with the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness techniques. Create the change you need to thrive in the life you want!
