Getting to know Kevin Belcastro

Hi there, I'm Kevin! Hello, I am Kevin Belcastro, LMFT, and I look forward to helping you on your journey of mental health recovery. I believe in creating a safe space for individuals to explore core issues that may contribute to mental health instability. I work from a trauma-informed lens and hold that the client is the expert in their own life. Healing begins through positive, supportive connections with a therapist who collaborates with the client to identify strengths and develop positive solutions to address current challenges. My approach I utilize CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused skills to assist clients in achieving their personalized goals. I believe in a client-centered approach, tailoring the therapeutic process to meet each individual's needs, goals, and preferences. My philosophy is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to explore their challenges and aspirations. My focus I work primarily with individuals who have experienced trauma and those dealing with depression, anxiety, substance use-related issues, and bipolar disorders. My communication style I am a client's cheerleader, recognizing and highlighting their strengths and positive qualities when needed. I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space while also holding clients accountable when necessary to support continued growth toward their goals. My journey to mental healthcare Often, I am asked what drew me to a career as a therapist, and my answer is simple: I was born to do this work. I believe this is my God's work. I initially started undergrad as a pre-med student with the dream of becoming a chiropractor, but several organic chemistry classes had other plans for me. I earned my Master's in Marriage and Family Counseling from the University of Phoenix, which solidified my path in mental health care.
