Getting to know Rachel Castro

I’m an experienced licensed clinical social worker who offers a warm, judgment-free, and empowering space to work through life’s challenges. I help clients slow racing thoughts and break free from the habit of overthinking decisions and social interactions. By cultivating self-compassion, I support you in quieting your inner critic and finding greater satisfaction in both your personal and professional relationships.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My therapeutic style is rooted in mindfulness and self-compassion, with an emphasis on insight-oriented work and practical tools. I often introduce gentle strategies drawn from CBT and DBT to help manage emotions and stress, while also exploring underlying patterns that may be impacting your relationships, mood, or sense of self.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My goal is to partner with clients in a way that supports meaningful change, resilience, and overall well-being. During our first session, we will complete an intake assessment that includes discussing your personal and family history, which helps me better understand your experiences and clarify your goals for our work together.
