Hi, my name is Bibiana Castro, and I love to help women who are longing to become their best selves but are held back by anxiety, insecurities, and fear. I walk alongside them and help them explore their lives creatively so they can make changes, discover the strong, confident woman they are, and encourage them to keep going to keep growing. I help women create and maintain healthy boundaries within themselves and with others.
With an expertise in the field of trauma, I help women process and overcome their traumatic past through the powerful tool of EMDR Therapy.
I’m also passionate about integrating faith into therapy and how one can draw unexpected strength from God during their path to emotional healing. I look forward to walking alongside you in taking that first step of your journey.

Jose Luis Ortiz, BS, Spanish Speaking Lay Counselor/
Consejero Laico
El asesoramiento puede ser una experiencia gratificante. Me gusta trabajar con individuos, familias y adultos. Me encanta ayudar y ver a las personas crecer en sus vidas personales y en las relaciones. Los matrimonios, las familias, la intimidad y la crianza de los hijos, los problemas de abuso del pasado también son áreas de tratamiento. Los trastornos del dolor, el dolor, la ansiedad y la depresión pueden tener efectos devastadores en la vida. Obtener ayuda en todas estas áreas puede mejorar en gran medida el funcionamiento general de uno. Creo que la satisfacción en la vida y saber que tu vida tiene un propósito es de suma importancia.
