Fatima "April" Castillo

Fatima "April" Castillo

Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m Fatima Castillo, LCSW, and I also go by April. I earned my Master of Social Work from Brandman University now University of Massachusetts Global and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. My background in social work includes experience in child protective services, adult services, behavioral health case management, and school-based mental health. These roles have given me the opportunity to work with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating a wide range of life circumstances and challenges. As a therapist, I have provided mental health services to adolescents and adults in a school-based setting and currently provide therapy to adolescents and adults through telehealth. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and self-esteem concerns.

My communication style is warm, down-to-earth, and conversational. I strive to create a relaxed, nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable being themselves, talking openly, and feeling genuinely heard and understood.

Growing up, I often witnessed conflict at home and learned to keep many of my feelings to myself. During a time when talking openly about emotions wasn’t always encouraged, I remember wishing I had someone who could help me understand and process what I was experiencing. That experience helped shape the kind of therapist I strive to be today—someone who provides the support, understanding, and encouragement clients may need while navigating difficult seasons in their lives.

I believe therapy should be a place where you don’t have to have everything figured out before you walk through the door. We can begin wherever you are.

Susan Leviton

Therapist

Virtual • Encino, CA


I'm an LMFT with 18 years of experience working with a genuinely wide range of people — and by that I mean the whole spectrum: straight, gay, queer, transgender clients pre-, during, and post-transition, people in non-traditional relationships, and any adults navigating anxiety, depression, or the long reach of childhood. I have deep training in gender-affirming care, which means I understand the clinical and emotional complexity of transition — not just the basics. I also work with couples who want to stop having the same fight and actually change how they relate to each other. I have a multicultural clientele and welcome clients from all backgrounds, identities, and relationship structures.
