The Full Story
Hi, I’m Christopher Castro, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist serving clients throughout New Jersey. I hold a B.A. and M.A. in Psychology, as well as a Professional Diploma in Marriage and Family Therapy from Kean University. Over the past several years, I’ve worked in both nonprofit and private practice settings, providing therapy to individuals, couples, and families through secure telehealth sessions.
My clinical work is rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS), a powerful, evidence-based approach that helps clients understand and connect with the different “parts” of themselves. I’ve found IFS especially effective for clients struggling with anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, and relationship stress. I also draw from systemic and emotionally focused techniques to support better communication and deeper connection, especially in couples work.
Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for growth, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where healing can begin. I look forward to walking with you on your journey.
Our Mission
Communicate to Wellness is focused on creating a therapeutic telehealth environment for individuals, couples, and families. Within this environment, the therapist will model core values (Consistency, Compassion, Curiosity and Communication) to facilitate effective skills and have everyone reach their maximum potential to communicate effectively and improve their general well-being.
Core Values
1. Curiosity
It is always important to stay curious about ourselves, and those that we have relationships with. Curiosity allows us to inquire further and gain new information about ourselves and others.
2. Consistency
Without consistency, new behaviors will never be learned. Consistency is important for not only learning and creating new behaviors but also for ensuring these new behaviors remain with us for a longer period.
3. Compassion
We are usually taught to have compassion for others but what about being able to feel deeply for our own experiences or trauma? When we learn to become compassionate toward ourselves, we shift the perspective in which we see ourselves and others around us.
4. Communication
By nature, we are social beings. We thrive off having social connections with others; even if it feels daunting in the beginning. Communication is the main factor in nurturing relationships with friends, family, our partners and ourselves.
