Laura Castro, LMFT

Hi, I’m Laura Castro (she/her.) I’m an EMDR and Ketamine Assisted psychotherapist, with 10 years of experience as a trauma therapist. I’m a queer, spiritual, toddler mama, and believe beauty practices are self-care. I’m a Leo sun. Pisces moon, Virgo rising, and a manifesting generator. I’ve helped hundreds of clients who struggle with self-worth as a result of complex PTSD as well as working with clients to increase feelings of safety after a traumatic experience.    I believe that each of my clients deserve a life filled with endless possibilities, but have found that my clients are often blocked in experiencing meaningful lives due to unprocessed trauma. It has nothing to do with whether someone deserves good things at all, but rather the lack of safety that comes up for my PTSD clients that prevents them from fully experiencing a more meaningful life. Whether it is a purpose-driven career, financial freedom and relationships where attachment trauma isn't running the show.  I attended University of Denver for my BA and received my Master’s in Clinical Psychology at Pepperdine University. I’ve worked at an Intensive Outpatient Program at Olympia Medical Center and at Aegis Treatment Centers, which focuses on adults with Opiate addictions. I have also worked at United American Indian Involvement, prior to starting private practice. I am excited to help clients who are committed to making changes in order to heal and begin to live life on their terms.
