Gyngear Castro
Hello! I am a passionate therapist who uses an eclectic mix of techniques tailored to fit each individual's needs. I am well-versed in working with those struggling with a range of life stressors and transitions. I bring a unique understanding of the complex ways in which family, peers, romantic relationships, and school dynamics interact and affect people. My sessions are conversational, interactive, and grounded in understanding your world as it is right now. I will listen deeply, pick up on patterns, and reflect things back in a way that helps things click. Expect honesty, support, and a space where you don’t have to filter yourself.

I welcome you to begin your journey in the comfort of a space with someone who can empathize, advocate, and encourage self-empowerment.
First session
In our first session, you should expect to discuss your current issues/barriers and goals for the next 3 months (if we are a good fit together).
Strengths
My eclectic approach to therapy meets clients where they are at. I also like to incorporate aspects of a client's life such as the past experiences that have shaped them today, the present stressors, and future goals/barriers.
Origin story
I became a therapist because I genuinely enjoy working with people and helping them gain new perspectives, develop effective coping skills, and work toward meaningful goals. I have always been someone people feel comfortable opening up to, and I bring that same sense of understanding and openness into my work as a therapist. My approach is compassionate, honest, and supportive. I believe therapy can be more than simply venting or completing homework assignments. Sometimes, people need a safe space to talk things through, gain clarity, consider a different perspective, or recognize when the way they are viewing a situation may be contributing to their struggles. While I will always meet you with understanding and without judgment, I also believe in being honest and providing thoughtful feedback when it can be helpful. Whether you need support navigating a difficult situation, building coping skills, working toward your goals, or simply having someone truly listen and help you make sense of what you're experiencing, I am here to help. My goal is to ensure you feel heard, supported, empowered, and never alone in the process. I will advocate for you while also encouraging you to grow, reflect, and move toward the life you want.
Treatment methods
Eclectic
My therapy practice is very eclectic as each individual person is different. Particularly engage in CBT, Mindfulness therapy, Reality therapy, and Strength-based therapy. My approach is very integrative with mind-body and psycho-education; I am a very big advocate of self-care and body movement.
