Hi. Welcome to my page. I am Oswaldo Castro but prefer to be called Oz. I am licensed mental health therapist with a plethora of experience. I first start my journey working in neurofeedback which has allowed me to work with a diverse population from children to seniors with issues with ADHD, autism, sleep disorder, anxiety disorders, depressed mood and a plethora of other neurodivergent individuals for about 7 years. My journey continues to working at a drug rehab facility where I worked with individuals with substance use disorder for about 5 years.
My life then continues to work at a survivor's center where I worked with victims of domestic violence, violent crimes and grief for about 2 years. I also gained experience with the LGBTQIA+ population where I worked closely and ran groups with individuals of the trans experience. Moving forward, I have worked with suicidal children and adolescents that have been under a Baker Act which has given me experience in with family systems for about 4 years.
If you like what you can read so far, reach out to me and schedule a session. Hope to hear from you so we can start working on those goals that you may have for yourself.

North Miami, FL - Accepting clients in FL
I'm a mental health therapist who is passionate about helping individuals gain deeper insight into themselves and create lasting, meaningful change in their lives. My work is grounded primarily in psychodynamic therapy, which means I focus on helping clients uncover and understand unconscious patterns, early relational experiences, and internal conflicts that influence how they think, feel, and behave today. I believe that by bringing these deeper dynamics into awareness, people can begin to heal from past wounds and build more fulfilling lives and relationships.
In addition to psychodynamic therapy, I integrate tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support clients in managing present-day symptoms and building practical coping skills. CBT allows us to identify and challenge distorted thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. We work together to reshape those thoughts and develop healthier behaviors that promote emotional well-being. ACT helps clients relate differently to their internal experiences by fostering mindfulness, acceptance, and alignment with personal values, encouraging them to take meaningful action even in the face of difficult emotions.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each individual’s unique needs and goals. Whether someone is struggling with relationship issues, anxiety, self-doubt, or a sense of feeling stuck, I work to create a safe space where they feel seen, heard, and supported. Together, we explore the roots of their struggles while also building the tools they need to thrive in the present and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Many of my clients feel pressure to appear strong and are used to keeping it all together on the outside, while quietly struggling and feeling disconnected on the inside.
Together, we create a safe, supportive space to unpack what’s weighing you down, process emotions, and reconnect with your inner strength. I believe that healing is not just about overcoming obstacles—it’s a courageous step on the path to discovering your true self and the greatness that already lies within you. It’s about honoring who you are at your core, breaking through the barriers holding you back, and stepping into a more fulfilling and empowered life.
This journey to greatness involves embracing your unique potential, developing deeper self-awareness, and finding purpose in all that you do. It’s a process of transformation that leads to not only healing but also the freedom to live authentically and with intention.
I offer therapy in both English and Spanish to support clients in the language they feel most comfortable with.

Clermont, FL - Accepting clients in FL
Thank you for taking time to learn a little about me. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Addictions Professional with over 25 years of counseling experience in clinical, private and educational settings. I practice Client-centered therapy. For those who are unfamiliar with Client-centered therapy it is based on the practice that the CLIENT is best able to decide what to explore and mark as a goal of treatment. I empower all my clients without compromising empathy. Whatever the reason any individual, couple, or family comes to me, I challenge their skillset to solve problems and restore resolve; not simply provide short-term solutions. The first step to achieve this is to build a rapport with essential empathy and unconditional positive regard.
I believe in relationships. Seems a little elementary but one's physical, mental, and overall wellness is dependent on relations that we have with each other. No matter how large or small one's family is, and/or social circle we were all meant to establish and grow relationships. No level of true self-reflection would escape this fact. I witnessed this to be true in all of my clients as with myself.
I currently reside Central Florida with my wife, son, and three daughters. As a family we enjoy an active lifestyle supportive of one another and the family dynamic.
I welcome the opportunity to work with you, feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Do you feel like you need to work out some of your thoughts and feelings? Are you not sure where to start?
Hi! I'm Chelsea and I know that feeling all too well.
In my therapy practice, I utilize an egalitarian approach while working with people. This means that the therapist and the client are the experts of their own experience. I believe we each bring preconceptions and values into the relationship and these core values can help strengthen trust. I’m, in general, curious about people and who they are; so I LOVE hearing about interests or hobbies or anything that relates to a person’s individuality. I incorporate harm reduction and motivational interviewing within my work. I believe that people are conduits to change and change is dependent on motivation and readiness. I think it is okay if someone is not ready or is not sure if they are ready; we all start somewhere!
I enjoy watching people evolve and grow into their authentic selves; which includes knowing who they are and what they value. I value self-awareness and introspection, for myself, and want to help others on their path to their wellness.

One of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Whether it’s learning techniques to combat anxiety, stress or depression, or addressing and overcoming trauma and PTSD. Perhaps you have a child that is struggling in school, a teen that won’t open up to you, and you’re looking for someone they can talk to. Maybe you just need someone to truly listen and to hear you, to walk with you as you take these next brave steps.
My approach when it comes to therapy is integrative and person centered. I believe that each of my clients is the expert in their own life and no one person is the same, therefore I pull from several different approaches (integrative) based on client need.

It is time to invest yourself! The first step to changing our circumstances is acknowledging something isn’t working. The process of change takes courage. My approach in counseling is to create an encouraging environment which my clients can find the strength to make those first steps into the unknown. I graduated from Palm Beach Atlantic University with a bachelors degree in science of psychology and a minor in communication. I then went on to receive a Masters degree in counseling from Webster University.
After my education I went on to gain clinical experience in many different areas over the next 18 years including, but not limited to inpatient psychiatric facilities, intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, group therapy, marriage and family counseling, individual counseling, and substance abuse counseling.
Licensed in the state of FLorida (MH10911) as a mental health counselor, I aim to provide quality care. I specialize in couples counseling, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, mens issues, family therapy, job stress, interpersonal issues, child therapy, and most other conditions. I look forward to assisting you on you journey to wellness!

I am Gillian. I am a natural born empath. Do you struggle with the push through mentality? I want the individuals I work with to feel heard, to feel understood, to know they can be 100 percent themselves with zero judgment. I know finding the right therapist can be difficult. My approach is Person Centered based. This means I wholeheartedly believe a person has the capacity for growth. My specialties include working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, and addiction. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Based Therapy. I can help with navigating complex and uncomfortable emotions.
Seeking therapy is an act of prioritizing yourself. It takes courage to be vulnerable. It can be difficult to get to a place of peace and find joy in the simplest of things when you are in that so to speak tunnel.

Hi. I'm Jessica. I am NOT a conventional therapist. I serve as a guide on the journey of personal/spiritual development, growth, empowerment and reclamation for those who are ready to dive deeper to create the life of their dreams.
My approach is holistic and wellness based which means I understand that all those patterns that may be currently keeping you from stepping into your next best Self/life served a purpose at one point in time - you won't find any judgment here. I customize your care to your specific needs to help you connect with your innate ability to heal. In our sessions, I blend compassion, some humor and a few f-bombs with holding you accountable. I help all those who are allergic to superficiality and looking to live life at a deeper level do just that. You can be spiritual + grounded af. In my work with clients, I draw most heavily on somatic therapy while also integrating mindfulness, depth psychology, shadow work, narrative therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and ecopsychology.
Your new life is waiting for you... And it will cost you your old one. When you're ready to transform, let's talk.

Hi, I’m Allison. Whether you’re feeling burned out, stuck in unfulfilling patterns, or having challenges in your relationships, therapy can help you recover and feel more grounded. Many of the people I work with are new to therapy. They may not have a specific diagnosis or crisis, but they know something feels “off.” Clients often tell me they feel comfortable opening up with me quickly. If you're feeling overwhelmed or disconnected, know that meaningful change is possible. Let’s work together to help you feel more content, empowered, and like yourself again.
Clients often tell me they feel at ease opening up to me. Many feel relieved to have a therapist who offers active guidance, rather than just listening without direction.
Finding relief and reconnecting with a sense of peace is more achievable than it might feel right now—and once you start, the process of change often unfolds more quickly than you expect.
I approach therapy by looking at the root cause of problems, rather than focusing on one problem at a time. I work from a systemic perspective, which means we will dive into your personal relationships, behavior patterns, and lifestyle choices which are interconnected with the issues you may be facing.
