MentalPaz Therapy and Wellness

Marriage & Family Therapist, MA LMFT
Accepting clients Last Updated 0 days ago

Your mind never stops running, yet you still feel “behind.”

You're juggling so much—college, career, relationships, identity, or maybe even starting a family. Add in anxiety, the weight of expectations, or ADHD and it can all feel like too much.

There is an easier way. Let me help you find it.
I’ll provide a culturally affirming, trauma-informed space where we work with who you are—not against it. Together, we'll develop strategies to manage overwhelm, improve focus, and quiet that inner critic. Our work will be collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in curiosity. My goal is to help you experience more calm, confidence, and clarity in your daily life.

I'm Nicole Castillo, MA LMFT—founder of MentalPaz, Latina therapist, new mama, and young breast cancer survivor who gets what it's like to balance identity, ambition, and healing.
With over a decade of experience, I couldn’t be more passionate about working in solidarity with my clients.
