Pablo Castro, LPC

Pablo Castro is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona who brings both clinical training and lived experience to his therapeutic work. An Army veteran, he completed a master’s degree at Grand Canyon University and has provided therapy for about 4 years, with nearly a decade of overall experience in mental health support. His background includes work with the Serious Mental Illness population and collaborative co-responder roles alongside law enforcement in Pima and Pinal County, offering crisis support and community-based interventions.

Pablo approaches clinical work from a mind-body-spirit perspective, emphasizing experiential methods that make sessions interactive and meaningful. He describes his strengths as empathy, patience, and a holistic orientation that attends to emotional, physical, and spiritual dimensions of recovery. In session he aims to prepare, teach, and gently challenge clients so they can own their experience while also being invited to consider alternative perspectives when blind spots arise.

Outside of his professional role, Pablo is an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys hiking and weight lifting. He trains in Jiu Jitsu and draws personal grounding from his faith. He values close, intentional relationships with family and loved ones, nurturing a small social circle with care and attention. Pablo is bilingual in English and Spanish and integrates his varied experiences into a practical, strengths-based approach to addressing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and depression.
