Hi! I am Esther Castillo, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I take pleasure in working with individuals (s) who are seeking to overcome major obstacles to obtain contentment. My emphasis has been working with individuals and their families to overcome trauma, addiction, and mental health stigma so they can reach their full potential. I am fluent in Spanish!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we'll start with brief introductions, and then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
The greatest strength I possess as a provider is that I am patient, compassionate, and understanding with 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked with a wide diversity of individuals struggling with trauma, mental health, and addictions for the past 20 years, I've developed a sense of understanding and compassion to help you identify the root cause of your issues and challenges to create a tailored treatment plan that leads to measurable progress.
