Today is World Health Day, and this year’s theme, “Together for Health: Stand With Science,” deeply reflects what we believe at Castlebrook Counseling.

Mental health care is healthcare. And the science is clear: therapy works.

From evidence-based treatments like DBT, EMDR, and CBT, decades of research continue to show that healing happens when clinical expertise and human connection come together.

Our Executive Director, Kerrie Toole, LICSW, explores this in her latest blog: http://castlebrookcounseling.com/blog/the-science-shows-that-therapy-works-were-standing-with-it

March 31 is International Transgender Day of Visibility - a day to honor and celebrate trans and nonbinary people, their resilience, and their lived experiences. At our practice, we believe visibility matters because feeling seen, affirmed, and safe is foundational to mental health. Today, we recognize both the progress made and the continued work needed to ensure dignity, respect, and care for trans people everywhere. 🏳️‍⚧️

Sleep plays a major role in our mental health, focus, and overall well-being - yet according to the CDC, nearly one-third of U.S. adults aren’t getting enough of it.

In honor of National Sleep Hygiene Week, we’re spotlighting our blog:
