Getting to know Monica Castro
Hi! I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I have over 9 years of experience working with children, adolescents, families, and adults in outpatient therapy and community mental health. Through these experiences, I have worked with many populations from various walks of life. What works for one person might not necessarily work for you. I can help you begin the process to improve your emotional health no matter where you are in life. I am committed to empowering clients with the tools, training, and knowledge they need to improve their daily life through the use of evidence-based strategies. I utilize a variety of techniques and skills drawn from recognized therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused, Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Couples Therapy, Play Therapy, behavior modification, and mindfulness and relaxation. I believe in working in partnership with clients to utilize their strengths to help them sort out their challenges and achieve their goals. I realize how important it is to identify all aspects of an individual’s life that impact their well-being, including their physical health, support systems (family, friends, etc.), work or school environment, and faith/spirituality throughout this process.

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.

I have tried therapy a few times in the past and never found a therapist I connected with until I met Monica. My experience with Monica has been everything I imagined successful therapy would be like. She alleviates my anxiety, remembers details I've shared, which shows she’s super attentive and caring. This has been my favorite therapist by far.
