Getting to know Yara Castillo
Hello, I'm Yara. I graduated with a B.A. in Psychology and an M.Ed. in Counseling from the University of Houston. My approach to therapy is client-centered, but I like to integrate techniques from various approaches to best meet your unique needs. I believe that clients come to therapy to feel understood, to be listened to, and to form a meaningful connection with another person.
I understand that everyone has inherent strengths and the ability to make their own decisions. However, the daily stresses of life can often push down that strength and courage. My role is to help you find and rebuild that inner strength and to validate your experience as a human being.
Throughout my career, I have worked in both private practice and hospital settings, providing support to individuals dealing with chronic mental illness. My specialties include anger management, bipolar disorder, grief and bereavement, life transitions, perinatal support (pregnancy, prenatal, postpartum), anxiety, depression, stress, family relationships, and ADHD.
I am here to support you through your journey, helping you navigate life's challenges and empowering you to make the best decisions for yourself. If you're ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out and begin this journey together.
