Hi there! My name is Aliza Castro and I am a dually licensed behavioral health treatment provider (Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor), with 29 years of
experience, providing integrated behavioral health treatment for individuals navigating substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions. In addition, I recognize the unique identity related
challenges that can arise from adoption and provide a safe space to explore these experiences.
My clinical practice is grounded in evidenced based, person centered care where individuals feel heard and empowered to set meaningful goals and develop effective coping skills. My approach is non
judgmental, compassionate, supportive, and goal directed. I believe in meeting you where you are in your recovery journey and helping you find clarity and motivation to move forward at your pace.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
