Valeria Castrillo

I graduated from the University of Maryland School of Social Work and I was selected to participate in the Student Government Association, The Trauma Education Connection, and Title IV-E Program. I received additional expertise in trauma informed practice.

I am licensed clinical and forensic social worker with over 6 years of experience providing services to children and families. Highly experienced in trauma informed practice, depression, adjustment in life transitions, grief, parenting, family relationships, and Anxiety.

I am someone who brings light into the lives of others with empathy. As a mental health therapist, my ability to listen deeply and provide support helps so many navigate their challenges. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where people can be their true selves. I believe compassion creates healing and hope in a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming, and I’ve witness my work have an incredible impact on the lives of others.

As a therapist, I believe that each individual has inherent strengths, even when they may not always recognize them. My approach is grounded in empathy, understanding, and respect, creating a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Together, we’ll focus on what you already do well and build on those strengths to overcome challenges.

My goal is to empower you to find your own solutions and trust in your ability to create positive change in your life. With compassion and patience, we will work toward healing and growth, always recognizing that you have the resilience within you to move forward.

Together we will create a treatment plan tailored to your treatment goals. You will learn tools and skills to take with you and practice.
