Dr. Kalya Castillo
I am a licensed psychologist specializing in anxiety and depression relating to areas such as relationships, multicultural (ie. race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality) identity, adolescent/young adult identity development, and adjusting to academic and career-related stress. I have a background working with both traditional and non-traditional college students within multiple capacities including as an academic advisor, first-generation student counselor, mentor, and adjunct professor.
Outside of private practice, I work at Jacobi Medical Center Hospital providing trauma-focused treatment to individuals struggling with chronic medical conditions. Additionally, I am an CUNY adjunct assistant professor within both graduate school counseling/counselor education and undergraduate psychology departments.
