I’m Brielle Castanheira, a Licensed Associate Counselor who is dedicated to promoting healing and wellness through a holistic, somatic lens. I focus on supporting the whole person—highlighting the intimate and interdependent connection between the body and mind. Using somatic awareness and mindfulness, I help clients explore how thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations intersect. I integrate skills into practice drawing from evidence based modalities such as CBT and DBT. I also utilize additional theories such as Existential concepts to deepen insight and support meaningful, individualized growth.
My somatic mind-body counseling approach stems from my experiences as a competitive athlete which allows me to connect with the unique challenges student-athletes face while promoting mental health and balancing ambitions.
I strive to create a warm and collaborative space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered as they navigate challenges and cultivate lasting change. Together, we will work to cultivate groundedness, strengthen inner resilience, and build a path that aligns with your healing goals.
