Primary Therapist

Valerie Castillo

Valerie Castillo has worked with people struggling with addiction and mental health challenges for over 3 years. She views mental health and substance abuse as complex, integrated issues that need ongoing support from not only a treatment team, but also from family, friends, and loved ones.

Valerie graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree from California State University Northridge in Social Sciences and received her Master’s in Clinical Counseling from Alliant International University.

She is a big believer in working with the client to help alter the cognitive mind, allowing the client to apply it to their behavior, actions, and daily life. This theoretical evidence-based practice is known as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Borrowing from Aaron Beck, the founder of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, “There is more on the surface than what our eyes can see.” Each individual is unique in their own way, but there is so much more within the individual that we do not always see. In her free time, Valerie spends time with her family and friends and enjoys exercising, hiking, and spending quiet time at home.
