Restoring Stability & Confidence After Injury
At Castillo Psychotherapy and Counseling, we offer specialized emotional support for individuals recovering from accidents, injuries, and medical events that have affected their daily functioning and emotional well-being.
Our approach focuses on understanding the psychological and physical effects of trauma and helping you rebuild a sense of stability, control, and confidence in your body and your life.
Therapeutic Support While Your Case Is Ongoing
We also provide individual therapy services under a Letter of Protection from your attorney. This allows you to access mental health support while your personal injury case is ongoing.
We recognize that recovery after an accident goes beyond physical healing. Emotional distress, fear, and identity shifts are common experiences that deserve informed and compassionate support.
