Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Jessica Castro, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I’m a mother of two and have been married for 15 years, which gives me a deep, personal understanding of the joys and challenges that come with relationships and family life. With over 10 years of experience in the mental health field, I specialize in working with individuals who are seeking clarity, healing, and stronger connections. My clients often share that therapy with me helps them feel heard, empowered, and better equipped to handle life’s stressors. I’m committed to creating a safe, supportive space where meaningful change can happen.

My approach to therapy

What stands out about my approach is how deeply I value the person in front of me—not just their symptoms or struggles. Rooted in humanistic therapy, I focus on building a genuine, trusting relationship where you feel fully seen and respected. I believe healing happens when you have space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. Clients often tell me they appreciate how heard and understood they feel in our work together—and that therapy with me helps them gain clarity, build self-confidence, and move forward with more purpose and self-trust.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you can expect a calm, welcoming space where you can be yourself—no pressure, no judgment. We’ll start by talking about what’s bringing you in, what you’d like to get out of therapy, and anything you'd like me to know about your story so far. I’ll also ask some questions to get a clearer picture of how you’re doing emotionally, mentally, and in your day-to-day life. Most importantly, this session is about building trust and making sure you feel safe, supported, and understood as we begin this process together.
