Aloha. My name is Erin Iwalani Castillo. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Hawaii. I have worked with people in a variety of settings. I use a solution-focused approach to assist clients in raising their level of health. I look forward to working with you through life challenges. This provider resides in Hawaii.
My approach
I use a psycho-education/solution-focused approach to working with clients. When a client has a belief in a higher power, I will encourage them to use that resource to work through their situation. I also encourage clients to utilize outside resources, i.e., support and community groups.
My focus
I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, substance/alcohol issues, work/life stress, family of origin/adoption/attachment issues, communication, military life, retirement, health issues, grief, divorce, and support in navigating life's challenges.
My communication style
I am a warm and caring individual. I listen deeply to what you are saying.
My journey to mental healthcare
I believe in therapy. I have reached out for support to deal with life challenges. I bring my experiences, education, and belief in a higher power to assist me in helping others. Life can be hard. I am here to help.
My goals for you
I ask the client what their concerns are, and then prioritize and set goals with them.
My first session with you
Clients will feel heard and supported. They will have hope and a plan to feel better.
