Getting to know Laura Castro

Hello, my name is Laura Castro, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 6 years of experience. I hold a Master’s in Counseling from the University of Phoenix and a Bachelor’s from California State University, Fullerton. My therapeutic philosophy is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and a strength-based, holistic approach. I view each client as a unique individual shaped by relationships and life experiences, committed to helping clients navigate challenges, build resilience, and cultivate meaningful connections. My approach After evaluating prospective clients, I tailor my approach to their unique needs. I utilize evidence-based practices including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Seeking Safety. My goal is to empower individuals and families with tools to overcome obstacles and thrive. My focus My professional journey has given me insights into the complexities of human relationships and their impact on mental health. I work with families, teens, and individuals, helping clients address anxiety, depression, trauma, family dysfunction, and self-esteem. My communication style I am open, reflective, and validating, providing a safe environment. I focus on being empowering and client-centered while incorporating unconditional positive regard. My journey to mental healthcare I’ve witnessed the change that occurs when people build a meaningful relationship with a therapist. That moment showed me therapy’s power to positively influence individuals. My goals for you I begin with a thorough assessment of your mental health, emotional state, and concerns. Together, we collaborate to set therapeutic goals, encouraging your active participation in the process.
