Debi Castillo, ACMHC
ACMHC
Debi believes therapy should be a space where clients feel safe to show up authentically—without judgment, pressure, or the expectation of having everything figured out. She works with children, adolescents, and adults through a compassionate, trauma-informed, and individualized approach that recognizes each person’s unique story, strengths, and needs.
Her integrative approach draws from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Play Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. As a Neurofeedback Clinician, Debi also incorporates nervous-system-informed interventions to strengthen emotional regulation, resilience, and overall well-being.
Beyond symptom reduction, Debi strives to help clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves, approach their experiences with greater curiosity and self-compassion, and build meaningful skills that support lasting change. She is currently pursuing her PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision, further expanding her clinical knowledge while developing her ability to support, educate, and mentor other clinicians and continue serving individuals and families with compassion and intention.
