Getting to know Malena Castillo
I am an LMHC and EMDR-certified therapist who works with clients from the first contact. I hold a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Carlos Albizu University. Bilingual in English and Spanish and bicultural, I bring compassion, empathy, and support to every therapeutic relationship. Through years of practice with diverse clients, I have developed strong clinical skills that honor and respect all backgrounds, regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, or disability. My approach is integrative and individualized; each person's sessions and progress are unique to their needs.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I am always willing to listen, offer solutions, and develop skills to resolve my client’s issues. I take pride in my work and genuinely care for my client’s well-being.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
