Hello, my name is Adelina Castellanos, and currently practice as a Marriage and Family Therapist in CA. I am also currently working on my doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy. My professional journey began with supporting children, individuals, and families impacted by trauma, providing me with extensive expertise in trauma-focused care. I find great fulfillment in working with adults and couples and am trained in the Gottman Method. Additionally, I specialize in perinatal mental health, helping postpartum mothers reduce depression and anxiety to strengthen their bond with their babies. I also bring significant experience in supporting neurodivergent individuals, as well as children with special needs and their families.
I believe in fostering a warm, compassionate environment where you feel truly supported. I’m here to listen and understand, but I’m also committed to helping you make meaningful progress. I will challenge you when needed, always in a kind and thoughtful way, and provide the direct guidance necessary to help you reach your goals.
My approach to therapy focuses on understanding and valuing the individuals as a whole while helping them externalize and address their challenges.
I use different methods and modalities to help individuals, couples and families achieve their goals. Modalities include CBT, Gottman, Narrative, and trauma focused interventions.
