Nilton Castro, PhD, LMHC

My name is Dr. Nilton Castro. I specialize in working with children, teens, and families who are navigating challenges such as social and emotional development, anxiety, depression, school stress, and family transitions. My approach combines structure with warmth, giving young people the tools to manage emotions, build confidence, and strengthen relationships. Parents often share that I connect easily with kids and teens, creating a safe and supportive space where growth feels possible.

The development of emotional intelligence is paramount during elementary school years into adolescence. Understanding our feelings and reactions to situations enables us to cope in with various experiences later in life. Through vulnerability and conversation in session we may enhance our awareness and perceptions of emotion.

Worried thoughts and anticipation of the future may lead to difficulties in life. Self exploration allows us to ask ourselves if the issue is inside or outside our control. If it is within our control, we may solve it. If not, acceptance enables us to reduce the emotionality we may feel.

Symptoms of depression manifest in many ways. Modifying the beliefs and judgments we are pained by may free us from the impact that it holds over us. Combining action and challenging depressive thoughts allows us to reduce the disturbances and move forward from the bondage of our symptoms.
