Counseling therapist cranberry Warrendale Wexford

Maria Castellon received a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Commonwealth University (Lock Haven). She is a Pennsylvania Licensed Associate Professional Counselor and National Certified Counselor (NCC).

Maria has a special interest in pursuing trauma-informed therapeutic approaches, and has worked with clients 9-70 with the following diagnoses: depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). She strongly believes in operating with integrity and compassion in the therapeutic setting, and that all people possess a unique set of strengths and talents that they may call upon while facing challenges in life.

In a session with Maria, one can expect a person-centered and supportive approach, along with some aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), eye-movement desensitization & reprocessing (EMDR) and motivational

interviewing. Her style is somewhat conversational and favors the use of thought-provoking questions to facilitate self-realization in clients. In challenging our thought processes so as to promote positive changes, we may foster a greater sense of strength and resilience to face adversity, and emerge with a greater understanding of who we are. Maria is currently accepting clients in the
individual or couples setting, for telehealth and/or in-person at FWCC’s Warrendale/Cranberry location.
