Elizabeth Castillo

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas (#09558) and hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Counseling from Wayland Baptist University. I am of Hispanic heritage, and while not fully fluent in Spanish, I am comfortable engaging in conversations in the language. I bring a strong educational foundation and over a decade of experience in mental health working with at-risk youth and their parents and guardians, adults struggling with chemical dependency, and college students in search of self and life direction.

Outside of my professional life, I am deeply family-oriented, and my faith is a guiding force in my life. With a prioritization for self-care, I have a passion for fishing, love exploring new foods and restaurants, and enjoy regular visits to the gym.

I firmly believe the cornerstone of effective therapy is the formation of a strong relationship between therapist and client, one built on trust, mutual respect, and collaboration. Grounded in empathy, understanding, and a non-judgmental attitude, my therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness meditation, reality therapy, family-oriented practices, and EMDR.

As a counselor, I am committed to guiding individuals toward improving their quality of life and supporting their healing process. Counseling is my calling, and I am passionate about helping people pave the way for meaningful and lasting change. My role is to listen attentively, provide guidance, and equip you with the necessary tools for transformation.

Together, we can embark on this journey of self-discovery and personal growth. I am genuinely looking forward to working with you.
