Hello and welcome to a space where you can find comfort and understanding! My name is Marcia Castanon and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Texas. I obtained my Bachelors degree in Psychology in New Mexico and my Masters degree in Counseling in Texas. I am currently working on my Sand Tray Certification. I currently have about 8 years of experience in the counseling field with experience working in local non-profits, the juvenile justice residential setting and school systems.
I have a passion for working with children and teens and I have worked with individuals and families with a wide range of concerns. I do enjoy working with people of all ages and backgrounds and I enjoy helping those who are looking for someone to help guide them through difficult times and situations. I have experience working with a wide range of concerns and mental health issues such as life changes, grief and loss, family conflict and HIV/AIDS. I combine different therapeutic approaches based on the individual’s needs, concerns and goals such as Client Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Therapy and Mindfulness techniques.
Displaying compassion, empathy and unconditional positive regard are just some of the qualities that help make me a counselor that can connect and be present with you. Just like anything else, finding a counselor that is a good fit for you can take time and it’s okay to keep trying until you find someone you are comfortable with. Counseling is a collaborative effort and together we can work on the concerns that brought you to counseling so that you can regain control, empowerment, fulfillment and peace.
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Trauma and abuse, Grief, Parenting issues, Anger management, Coping with life changes, HIV / AIDS, Young Adult Issues
Clinical approaches: Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Marcia Castanon. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Marcia has been an incredible counselor to me and beyond helpful to me in heartbreak after a 7-yr toxic relationship. She feels like a friend and truly listens to your concerns, offering wisdom that surpasses the other counselors I've tried in the past. I don't ask a lot but others would ignore, not make time, just say 'that's difficult' or something generic that I could've come up with myself.
Marcia truly sees you and is there to guide you towards a better you. I would recommend her or Betterhelp to anyone!!!!
