Welcome! I’m Dr. Leticia Gonzalez-Castro, a dedicated mental health professional and educator with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals and families. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with clients of all ages—from young children to adults—navigating challenges such as depression, anxiety, family dynamics, and educational hurdles. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Houston and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership and Management from Saint Thomas University, Florida, blending deep clinical understanding with strategic, advocate-minded care. My passion lies in empowering individuals and strengthening communities, and I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey toward growth and healing.
I understand that beginning therapy can seem intimidating and quite overwhelming, and many times, the toughest part of the experience is taking that first step. Still, you have made it here, and you are commencing your important journey to heal and rebuild yourself. I am grateful for the opportunity to meet with you and learn the best ways I can be of service. My practice style is very warm, caring, and collaborative.
Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or worried about your child or family? I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20+ years of experience helping children, parents, and caregivers through big feelings and life changes. As a former elementary school counselor and certified K–12 art teacher, I understand the school, social, and family pressures kids and teens face.
Life can feel overwhelming when stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, or major transitions start to pile up. Therapy can be a space where you slow down, feel understood, and begin making sense of what you’re experiencing. For over a decade, I’ve worked alongside individuals navigating some of life’s hardest moments, including trauma, substance use recovery, mental health struggles, family stress, and major life changes. I became a therapist because I genuinely care about people and believe everyone deserves support, hope, and the opportunity to heal. No matter where you're starting from, we'll work together to help you build on your strengths and create meaningful change one step at a time.
There are moments where each of us experience difficult and stressful points in our lives. Whether it's a painful divorce, the loss of a loved one, the loss of a job, going through stress in a relationship, unresolved self-esteem issues, questions about gender or sexuality, dealing with a troubled child, family stress, or facing pain from childhood and/or adult trauma. Life can be hard at times; there is no doubt about that. I have come to view those challenging times that we all experience, albeit in different ways, as opportunities for us to make positive changes and adjustments - what I like to call "reset moments."
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I rely on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help move my clients to lasting change. I have experience working in schools, hospitals, and in my own private practice. Through individual counseling, we move from places of stagnation and fear into the amazing future that each of us deserves and I believe we can have.
I am always amazed at the strength and courage of my clients. It's never easy to take that first step, to commit to the process of change, to put in the effort to do the hard work, and to hope for more. We must always remember that each of us has the power to be who we are intended to be and to create the lives we want. I look forward to working with you...
As a seasoned practitioner (since 2006) with a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, I have dedicated my career to mastering a diverse range of therapeutic modalities to better serve my clients.
My clinical practice is grounded in extensive training across several specialized frameworks, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Additionally, I incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy, and Hypnotherapy into my work, allowing for a highly tailored and comprehensive approach to psychological wellness.
Ofrezco terapia en inglés y español (I offer therapy in English and Spanish). With more than two decades of experience, I specialize in professional counseling, care coaching, pastoral counseling, and spiritual guidance.
I enjoy assisting individuals from all walks of life to become a better version of themselves and experience a better quality of life. I strive to provide a safe and trusting environment for individuals to experience acceptance, understanding, compassion, empathy, and respect.
I love to walk alongside individuals by helping them become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and actions; take greater responsibility for themselves; resolve unfinished business prudently; establish clear direction to their lives; and experience freedom and healing.
I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s deepest challenges. My practice focuses on supporting clients through a wide range of personal struggles, including anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and self-esteem issues. I also specialize in trauma recovery, relationship guidance—including premarital and marital counseling—and spiritual mentorship.

Throughout my career, I have worked with children, adults, and families, with a particular focus on individual and group therapy with adults.
