*******Jareny Castillo, AMFT is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (130777) Supervised by Karen Giannini, LMFT(40315)******
Living anything outside of your authentic self can be exhausting. The lies we've been telling ourselves about who we are and how we should take up space in this world keep us stuck. However, we have the power to challenge these limiting beliefs and redefine them to lead us into a life of fulfillment and joy. I invite you to take this journey as an existential experience of self-understanding, healing, and growth.
I enjoy working with individuals and couples adjusting to different seasons of life. My approach to couples therapy combines talk therapy with practical skills to enhance your relationship. I tell my clients, "Before we get to the 'how' we also have to understand the 'why'"
My counseling style is non-judgmental, compassionate, and warm. I want to meet you where you are. You are the expert in your life and I am here to support you and help you explore what is getting in the way of you living out your fullest potential. My goal for you is to feel like you've found your safe space, a place of understanding and free of judgment.
Jareny offers Couples and Individual Therapy sessions.
