Raquel Castello

Everyone deserves to be heard and you have a voice. Your time in therapy can be a journey that you have not experienced before. I am a licensed mental health counselor registered in NYS. I am a certified clinical trauma professional and have achieved trainings in cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, EMDR, incorporating art interventions in therapy and chair yoga/mindfulness. I have experience working with children, adolescents, families and adults and I have a concentration in substance use counseling.

I embody the work that I put forth when assisting others therapeutically and in facilitating change. I am passionate about taking a holistic approach to health and looking at your mind, body and soul.

I am an environmentalist, animal lover, music enthusiast and world explorer. I am very thankful for the opportunities that I have had in my life to learn and experience different cultures and lifestyles; which has also provided me with the ability to have more insight into the intricate lives we all live.

I provide education and focused attention to where you are right now and allow discussion to where you would like to be. With a collaborative and strength based approach to therapy, I will assess and evaluate which treatment modalities can work best with you, in order to provide effective and time based therapy.

I acknowledge the challenges you can be facing right now, in your past or projected future and encourage you to experience a safe and non-judgmental space to be heard. Together we will look to areas of focus and begin your path.
