Bianca Casteel

Hi, I’m Bianca. I work with adults who may appear high functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected underneath. You may be dealing with anxiety, trauma, chronic stress, burnout, or a major change in your life. You may also know that something needs to change without being completely sure what that change should look like.

My clients come from many different backgrounds, including civilians, service members, veterans, and military families. You do not need to be in crisis or have everything figured out before starting therapy.

My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. We won’t just talk about what’s wrong. We’ll work to understand the patterns keeping you stuck, process difficult experiences, and build practical skills you can use in your daily life.

I draw from evidence-based approaches including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Cognitive Processing Therapy. I tailor our work to your needs and goals rather than using the same approach with everyone.

Our first session is a chance for me to understand what has been going on, what brought you to therapy, and what you would like to change. I’ll ask questions about your current concerns, relevant history, and what has or has not helped before.

You do not need to share everything at once or arrive knowing exactly what you need. We’ll begin identifying clear goals and discuss what our work together could look like. You’ll also have time to ask questions and decide whether I feel like a good fit for you.
