Real Support. Real Solutions. Real Living.
Welcome! My name is Liza (pronounced “Lisa”) Castro, and I am here to fiercely support and guide you back to your highest level of emotional, cognitive, and executive functioning.
I am a Hispanic Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, but my expertise doesn’t just come from textbooks. It is deeply rooted in my lived personal experience as a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a daughter, a sister, and a trusted friend. This rich blend of professional mastery and real-life wisdom makes me uniquely equipped to understand the complex layers of the support you are looking for.
My Approach: Keeping It Real, Keeping It Simple
I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families heal from the devastating impacts of anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, and addiction.
However, you should know from the start: I am not your ordinary therapist.
If you are searching for a rigid clinician who sits quietly, nods, and asks "How does that feel?" every two seconds, I am not your person. I am not here to scratch itchy ears or tell you only what you want to hear. Because I care deeply about your freedom, I am not afraid to gently challenge you to confront "your truth."
We are not here to coast; we are here to take action. Together, we will innovate your thought processes, shifting you away from negative loops and steering you toward active, positive thinking.
Tailored Tools for Lasting Rebirth
Human beings are complex, which is why I reject a "one-size-fits-all" model. I utilize an eclectic blend of highly effective, evidence-based modalities tailored directly to your unique personality and history, including:
EMDR & Trauma Therapy: To safely process painful memories and remove their emotional sting.
CBT & DBT: To reprogram negative thought cycles and build ironclad emotional regulation.
Mindfulness & Life Skills Innovation: To ground your nervous system and rebuild total self-awareness.
Press the Reset Button, Without Fear
No matter how stuck you feel right now, we can collaborate to develop positive coping mechanisms, rebuild your confidence, and reclaim your life. You do not have to walk this path alone, and you do not have to fear the change ahead.
Let's cut through the noise and find real solutions to real issues.
