Hi, I’m Jessica Castro, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I’m a mother of two and have been married for 15 years, which gives me a deep, personal understanding of the joys and challenges that come with relationships and family life. With over 10 years of experience in the mental health field, I specialize in working with individuals who are seeking clarity, healing, and stronger connections. My clients often share that therapy with me helps them feel heard, empowered, and better equipped to handle life’s stressors. I’m committed to creating a safe, supportive space where meaningful change can happen.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, you can expect a calm, welcoming space where you can be yourself—no pressure, no judgment. We’ll start by talking about what’s bringing you in, what you’d like to get out of therapy, and anything you'd like me to know about your story so far. I’ll also ask some questions to get a clearer picture of how you’re doing emotionally, mentally, and in your day-to-day life. Most importantly, this session is about building trust and making sure you feel safe, supported, and understood as we begin this process together.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

What stands out about my approach is how deeply I value the person in front of me—not just their symptoms or struggles. Rooted in humanistic therapy, I focus on building a genuine, trusting relationship where you feel fully seen and respected. I believe healing happens when you have space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. Clients often tell me they appreciate how heard and understood they feel in our work together—and that therapy with me helps them gain clarity, build self-confidence, and move forward with more purpose and self-trust.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Many of my clients are navigating life transitions, anxiety, identity struggles, or the lasting impact of past experiences. If you’re trying to find your voice, rebuild your confidence, or just need a space where you don’t have to carry it all alone—I get it. I bring both professional experience and real-life understanding to our work, and I’m here to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow at your own pace.

My treatment methods

Humanistic

I incorporate humanistic therapy in my work by creating a nonjudgmental, empathetic space where clients feel seen and heard. I believe people have the capacity for growth when given support and respect. This approach helps me empower clients to explore their emotions, values, and strengths. It also aligns with my trauma-informed and culturally responsive practices.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

I use mindfulness-based therapy to help clients increase self-awareness, emotional regulation, and present-moment focus. I often integrate breathing exercises, grounding techniques, and mindful reflection into sessions to help reduce anxiety, manage stress, and improve emotional connection. This approach supports clients in pausing automatic reactions and making more intentional choices in their relationships and daily lives.
