Daniela Sosa-Castillo

¡Bienvenidos! Welcome to my practice. Taking the step to prioritize your mental health is a powerful act of self-care, and I’m honored to support you on this journey.

My name is Daniela, a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 9 years of clinical experience. When I’m not working, you can usually find me spending quality time with my loved ones or unwinding in the garden.

Having personally navigated cultural transitions, grief, and life adjustments, I deeply understand how trauma and loss can impact every aspect of life. I’ve dedicated my career to providing compassionate, culturally responsive care tailored to individuals, families, and clients of all ages as they navigate life’s toughest challenges.

When you walk into our sessions, my primary focus is to give you a safe, warm, and grounded space where you can be yourself. To me, true safety in therapy means creating a space where you feel supported enough to explore difficult feelings, but also secure enough to be challenged on unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that no longer serve you. Therapy with me is a dynamic, collaborative partnership where we do real work together.

While I welcome clients from all walks of life, I specialize in helping individuals navigate trauma and grief. I also have a deep passion for supporting first-generation immigrants working through cultural identity and life transitions, as well as professionals navigating work burnout. In addition, I have valuable clinical experience supporting maternal mental health through the pre- and postpartum journey.

My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, but I know that no two people are the same. I flexibly blend tools from other modalities - such as DBT, ACT, and trauma-informed care - to tailor our work directly to your unique needs, helping you build emotional resilience and move toward lasting healing at a pace that feels right for you.

In our first session, you can expect a welcoming, low-pressure environment where you can speak freely and catch your breath. We’ll discuss what brings you to therapy, explore your goals, and address any questions you have about working together.

You can expect an active, collaborative dialogue right from the start. By the end of our time together, we’ll outline a clear path forward so you leave feeling heard, supported, and equipped with a sense of direction. When you’re ready to take the next step, I am here to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth.
