If you are carrying the weight of past pain, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, or navigating difficult life transitions, you do not have to carry it all on your own.
My name is Sivia Castro, LMHC, and I support children, adolescents, and adults who are navigating depression, grief, relationship challenges, and complex trauma. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can safely process difficult experiences and move toward lasting healing at your own pace. As a bilingual counselor, I offer care in both English and Spanish so you can share your story in the language most comfortable to you.
My clinical approach is person-centered, attachment-based, and integrative. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a B.A. in Psychology from Florida Gulf Coast University. In my work, I draw from trauma-informed principles while incorporating psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), internal family systems (IFS), and body-centered mindfulness practices. Additionally, I am trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) Level 1 to support trauma processing, as well as Levels I and II of the Gottman Method to help strengthen relationships and interpersonal connection.
