Malena Castillo, LMHC
About Me
I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and an EMDR-certified therapist, engaging with clients from the initial contact. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and possess bicultural experience. I am a compassionate, empathetic, and supportive practitioner. Through years of clinical practice with diverse clients, I have enhanced my professional skills. My exposure to diverse cultures, age groups, spiritual backgrounds, and various experiences has enabled me to deliver an integrative and individualized approach, recognizing that each individual's sessions and progress are unique.
Education & Experience
I utilize various therapeutic techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). My experience includes working with adults and older adults. I have addressed issues such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, fear, and other life challenges. I met the client where they are.
