Welcome! I’m Lisabeth Castro-Smyth, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) providing telehealth therapy. I specialize in support for life transitions, complex trauma, anxiety, stress, attachment ruptures, depression, and grief. I have extensive experience accompanying survivors on their healing journeys, and have served children, youth, and adults in diverse settings for over a decade.
My approach is compassionate, humanistic, and client centered. I believe in tailoring therapy for each client, knitting together elements of Mindfulness, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Intersectional Feminism, Polyvagal Theory, Expressive Arts, and Play Therapy.
My orientation nurtures connection, liberation, and transformation as fundamental to wellbeing. With children & adolescents, I emphasize self-esteem, expression, regulation, skills-building, and fun!
