Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Ormond Beach, FL

I am a lifelong resident of South Louisiana. I received a BA in Anthropology from Northwestern State University in Natchitoches and Master’s in Social Work from LSU in 2010. I spent two years in England working in child protection before returning home. Though I consider my background in working with children and families, I currently enjoy helping clients of all ages facilitate the change that they desire to better their own lives. In 2016, I received my LCSW and began working in clinical practice.

Hello! Thank you for being here today. My name is Brittany Castellanos, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I look forward to working with you. I work with both women and men. My background includes working with Veterans, in health care, with end of life care, and in women's issues.

Hello and welcome. I believe that healing happens through a connection of mind, body and spirit. My goal is to provide a supportive space where clients feel understood and empowered to create meaningful change. Drawing from a trauma-informed and strengths-based approach, I help clients identify patterns that may be keeping them stuck while building practical tools for growth and resilience. I believe in the strength of the human spirit and having the ability to reframe core belief's. Whether you are navigating a difficult season or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I would be honored to support you on your journey.

My experience includes mental health treatment, substance use treatment, eating disorder treatment, intensive family therapy, and grief work. I view each person within the context of their relationships, environment, and life experiences, and tailor treatment to meet their unique needs.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida with more than 13 years of experience providing behavioral health services and community-based care serving diverse and underserved populations.

Before entering the behavioral health field, I proudly served as an active-duty United States Marine, including overseas deployments. The leadership, discipline, resilience, and commitment to service that I developed during my military career continue to guide my professional approach and dedication to helping others.

My experience includes providing direct clinical services, managing complex cases and focusing on creating culturally responsive, evidence-based services that improve outcomes for children, families, and communities.

I believe that therapy is a journey that first begins with the courage to heal. Therapy should be a safe place to heal, discover, grow, and find moments of selah--which means to pause and reflect. The following quote sums up what I believe the healing process looks like: “Life is like an onion; you peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep” (Carl Sandburg).

Welcome. I am Josi Santana, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in West Palm Beach, Florida. As the founder of There is a Way Mental Health Services, I provide personalized therapy for adult women (18+). I operate on the profound belief that healing is always possible, even in our darkest moments. In our work together, I deeply value the therapeutic alliance and honor your position as the absolute expert of your own life and journey.

I believe healing is built through connection, trust, and feeling understood. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can speak openly and feel safe throughout the therapeutic process.

With over 15 years of experience in behavioral health, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, grief, and other emotional concerns. I recognize that each person’s experience is unique, so I tailor therapy to your specific needs, strengths, and goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

I see therapy as a collaborative process. Instead of directing you, I work with you to build insight, strengthen coping skills, improve communication, and develop practical strategies for meaningful change. My approach is evidence-based, trauma-informed, and grounded in compassion, honesty, and respect.

Whether working individually, with couples, or with families, my focus is to help you better understand yourself and your relationships, navigate challenges more effectively, and build resilience. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling heard, supported, and equipped with tools to support lasting growth and well-being.

I believe therapy works best when it feels human, so let me start by telling you a little about me. Outside of session, you will usually find me outdoors. I take long walks with my husband and our dachshund. I spend as much time in nature as I can, I go to yoga classes, longboard and sing. Those things keep me grounded, and they are part of why I believe so much in the value of small, sustainable practices that bring you back to yourself.

In my practice, I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, and questions of identity. I also support people through family issues, relationship struggles, stress and burnout, ADHD, and grief. I am inquisitive, warm, and not easily rattled.

My goal is to earn your trust, it is never the other way around. Let’s journey together in having you rediscover self-compassion, empowerment, and inner strength.

Personally and professionally, I pride myself on my rapport with everyone that I encounter. I have genuine and unconditional respect and patience for others.
