Laura Castro

Hi, I’m Laura! I’m a warm and compassionate Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who believes that everyone deserves a safe space where they can feel heard, understood, and supported. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, helping them navigate anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationships, emotional challenges, trauma, and life transitions.

My approach is collaborative and person-centered. I want my clients to feel comfortable being themselves while learning practical tools to better understand their emotions, and why they respond the way they do as well as to build confidence, and create positive changes in their lives.

I also enjoy providing services in both English or Spanish and value creating a culturally sensitive environment where clients and families feel respected and understood.

My goal is simple: to meet you where you are, help you understand yourself better, and support you as you grow into the person you want to become.

I take a person-centered and strengths-based approach, while incorporating practical therapeutic strategies based on your individual needs. Rather than simply focusing on the problem, I will help you understand where your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors come from and how you can create healthier patterns moving forward.

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin understanding what brought you to therapy. There is no pressure to have everything figured out or to share more than you feel comfortable sharing. I want to get to know more about your experiences, concerns, strengths, and what is important to you.
