Professional statement

Welcome! I’m Dr. Veronika Castillo, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist. I have been working in the mental health & wellness field since 2011. You can learn more about me and my practice on my website, dr-castillo [.] com.

Today, I offer remote therapy to residents of California and Florida and in person therapy to those local to Paso Robles. Distance is not a barrier to great relationships or meaningful therapeutic change.


Message to clients

I believe in empowering and strength-based approaches that highlight resilience. Our capacity to grow through ANY experience is a given, but having the right formula of time, space, and support can make a real difference in your journey.

Many of my clients have never been in therapy before, and most arrive feeling overwhelmed or stuck. I’ve been in your shoes and I can help! My career in research, supervision, and as a clinician is focused on creating connection, advancing the best care and promoting your natural strengths.

I have extensive training in analytic and psychodynamic therapy, where we work to understand the "root source" of symptoms or persistent, unwanted themes in your life; cognitive behavioral and cognitive processing therapy, where we target specific impacts of trauma or mental "blocks"; motivational interviewing to build momentum for change; and developmental and relational psychology, understanding the "why" of our relationship patterns, how we care for others and how we care for ourselves.

Individual therapy is not an isolated experience; as you take care of yourself, you are creating a ripple effect in the people and community around you, your future and theirs. It is an invaluable investment.

Specialties

Holistic Mental Health - Holistic mental health emphasizes the mind, body, and spirit in equal proportion. Well-being is more of a rhythm than a set of rules. We work together to understand what is best for you.

Trauma and PTSD - Most of my career has been focused on understanding and supporting those healing from trauma and PTSD.

Physicians, Military, First Responders - High-drive professions have an impact on their members and sometimes their families as well. These are communities that I am personally familiar with and have been connected to throughout my life.

Caring for the Caregivers - If you are in the helping professions and feeling overwhelmed, please reach out! I can help you feel like yourself again.
