Great to meet you!

Hi! I am Esther Castillo, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I enjoy working with individuals seeking to overcome significant obstacles to obtain contentment. My emphasis has been on 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!

My approach to therapy

I enjoy helping individuals who need guidance, strength, and a voice to overcome challenges that hinder their daily struggles. I enjoy assisting clients who are willing to make changes in their lives, are motivated to commit to treatment, and are ready to embark on a new journey to recovery. I prefer working with individuals from a remote setting regardless of race, gender, diagnosis, cultural or religious beliefs, etc.

What you can expect from me

I strive to create a comfortable environment where you feel safe to be your true self. I am here as a trusted partner you can confide in, someone who will challenge you and help you feel empowered and grow.
