About me
My name is Yara Castillo. I graduated with a BA in Psychology and an MEd in Counseling from the University of Houston. I practice from a client-centered approach. I feel like clients come to therapy to feel understood, listened to, and form a connection with another person. I also understand that people have strengths and can be empowered to make their own decisions for themselves. I feel as if people are in control of their lives and can make the best decisions for themselves, but much of that strength and courage to make those decisions has been pushed down by the daily stresses of life. I am here to help you find and rebuild that strength and validate your experience as a human. I have worked in private practice and have worked in a hospital setting working with chronic mental illness.

I had four video sessions with Yara as well as discussions in the platform's messaging. She was great! She was thorough in asking questions and getting to know me in order to understand my priorities and how to best help. I enjoyed every session, definitely learned how to better cope with my anxiety and would 10/10 recommend her!

I've only had a little bit of time with Yara, but she seems very passionate, smart, organized, and experienced. I'm happy to have her as my counselor.

I am extremely happy so far with the work that is being done! Yara listens, and genuinely seems concerned and invested in my wellbeing. She actively sends me links to things she believes would help my circumstances, and she makes sure I feel I am getting the help I need! 100% would recommend and am looking forward to further care.
