Michelle Castillo
As a bilingual Latinx/e Therapist based in NY I am especially equipped to support adults navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions by offering a warm, grounded, and nonjudgmental space where they can feel heard and understood. I believe in meeting people where they are and tailoring care to each person’s unique needs and goals. I use a trauma-informed approach which incorporates EMDR, mindfulness, and practical tools to help clients heal, build resilience, and create meaningful change.
First session
In our first session, you can expect a warm, supportive space where we focus on getting to know you, what brought you to therapy, and what you hope to change. I believe in meeting people where they are, moving at a pace that feels comfortable, and making sure you feel heard and understood. Together, we’ll begin to explore your goals and discuss how I can support you through a personalized, trauma-informed approach.
Strengths
I use a trauma-informed approach which incorporates EMDR, mindfulness, and practical tools to help clients heal, build resilience, and create meaningful change.
Ideal clients
I work best with adults and older adolescents navigating transitions or feeling stuck—in school, work, relationships, or identity. Many are in creative fields, seeking comfort and confidence in their work environments. I also have extensive experience with clients managing complex trauma, grief, and family dynamics, using EMDR, CBT, and trauma‑informed care to support regulation, self‑compassion, and meaningful, lasting change in daily life.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I help clients change the way they think about themselves and the world around them so they can feel more positive about themselves and others.
EMDR
I help people process traumatic events so they become desensitized to them and can have live a life that is more manageable without the symptoms of trauma.
