Emily is currently accepting new clients. Throughout our lives, we all encounter many defining moments that have lasting imprints on who we are and who we become. Although this is a universal lived experience, not everyone has social support or a plan for how to navigate this process. Therapy is an effective method of providing additional support to help these life transitions seem less daunting and more doable. Emily is committed to working alongside clients to understand their lived experiences, while improving quality of life.

Liza Castro
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, #145076
Vista, CA 92083
I primarily use an eclectic approach including CBT, DBT and trauma-focused therapies.
Most of my clients come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or carrying heavy experiences they’ve tried to push through on their own. Many of whom are military veterans, first responders, survivors of human trafficking, or professionals with highly sensitive roles who need a safe, confidential space to process trauma. They’re often dealing with PTSD, anxiety, flashbacks, or relationship struggles, and they’re ready for real change. I can help by combining EMDR with practical, evidence-based tools to reprocess painful memories so they no longer control your present. You’ll gain clarity, reduce anxiety, rebuild trust in yourself again.

I focus on healing the wounds that have created internal negative "stories" about ourselves and the world to help people reconnect with their original creative, powerful, loving selves. Clients learn stress reduction and self-nurturing techniques to support themselves on the journey through processing trauma and throughout their lives. As clients heal from the past, they then learn new ways to communicate and interact effectively with others and to create the lives they wish to live.

Some approaches you will see with me are cognitive behavioral therapy, somatic therapy, EMDR, strength-based perspective, and client-centered approach.
Typical clients I work with all adults with a primary focus on working with BIPOC communities (Black, Indigenous, and people of color). By honoring and integrating cultural backgrounds—whether through language, traditions, family dynamics, or community values—I can provide therapy that feels more relevant, respectful, and empowering.
