About Maura
Dr. Maura Castellanos brings more than a decade of hands-on mental health experience to her practice. She began as a chemical dependency technician in a dual diagnosis treatment facility and later completed a master’s degree in clinical psychology with an emphasis in marriage and family therapy, followed by a doctorate in clinical psychology. Dr. Castellanos is a CA Psychologist 32123 and works from California.
She has worked in a variety of settings including independent practice, community clinics, hospitals, and correctional facilities. That range of experience exposed her to many concerns such as addiction, mood disorders, trauma, parenting strain, and relationship problems. She also has experience addressing abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, and grief.
Her style is grounded in a client-centered outlook that treats each person as a whole. She combines that with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused work. The goal is to build clearer thinking, small steps forward, and coping tools people can use between sessions.
Dr. Castellanos often helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. She aims to collaborate with clients to set realistic goals and to adapt approaches based on how someone responds in therapy.
With 12 years in the field, Dr. Castellanos draws on assessment and intervention skills developed across populations and settings. She welcomes conversations about what someone needs and how therapy might fit into their life.
