Dr. Castro specializes in treating women’s mental health, cultural psychiatry, trauma, and depression. She focuses on the biopsychosocial model of care, prioritizing getting to know her patients first in order to address all of their needs for whole-person care.
Her journey into the field of psychiatry began in medicine as a primary care provider. Her strong medical background pairs perfectly with her passion for caring for people – learning their stories, helping friends and loved ones with troubles – and her family legacy of psychiatrists and psychotherapists.
Dr. Castro enjoys working with patients who are motivated by change. As an empathic, supportive, and caring provider, Dr. Castro understands that in therapeutic relationships, trust is a two-way street, and takes the time required to get to know her patients, build trust, and motivate them along their path toward finding the relief they deserve.
Dr. Castro's passion for psychiatry and transforming patients’ mental health only strengthened over the years through various roles, culminating in her joining the Mindful Health Solutions team in 2025. Here, she offers interventional methods like TMS therapy and Esketamine to her patients in addition to medication management and psychotherapy.
