Percy R. Castellanos, M.S.W., LCSW

I am a visible Queer, Latinx, bilingual therapist with experience providing psychotherapy in English and Spanish to the Latinx community. I am drawn to support clients heal the anxiety, guilt and shame from trauma. This may include trauma related to abuse, bullying, accidents, harassment, religious impositions, discrimination, and more. My clients often want to feel less anxiety, better manage their triggers, enjoy sexual intercourse with their partner(s), and redefine themselves from the trauma they experienced. Grounding techniques, challenging learned beliefs, asserting needs, and living more for self, are common themes in my practice and essential for post-traumatic growth. Integrating identities (e.g. race, ethnicity, sexuality, etc.) is common in my practice. I offer an integrative model that incorporates evidenced-based approaches, therapeutic relationship, intuition, culture- and spiritual-centered healing. I am trained in and enjoy using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and more. I welcome diversity in all of its forms, especially queer people of color and consensually non-monogamous relationships. It can be difficult to find a right match for therapy, especially if your therapist may not reflect your unique background. If you are seeking a bilingual (English/Spanish), multicultural therapist of color with whom you can discuss the issues listed in my profile and website, then you are welcome to contact me to see if we are a good fit.
