About
Georgina Castellanos
Hi, I’m Gina! I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping people heal, grow, and thrive.
One of the most important indicators of success in treatment is the connection between client and therapist. I strive to cultivate a safe working relationship in which you can openly share your thoughts, feelings, and challenges in order to help untangle them.
I enjoy working with individuals and families. As a therapist, my goal is to support you in your journey by using individualized treatment approaches. I use a strength-based, client-centered, and eclectic approaches and have extensive experience implementing family based, interpersonal, parent-child relational, and trauma based treatments.
It takes courage to try something new, share your experiences, and be open. It is in these moments of discomfort that we tend to grow the most. I would be honored to contribute to your journey towards fulfillment.
