How can humans meet their needs for connections without losing their independent sense of self?
Mrs Aude Castagna
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
“A compassionate, open minded therapist, I support people's journey into self discovery, life transitions and moods”
About Me
As a compassionate, open-minded therapist, I offer a supportive space. We can explore life's changes and emotional shifts together. I help you uncover insights about yourself, guiding you through transitions with greater clarity. We work to understand your moods, building resilience and a deeper sense of self. This approach suits those seeking a thoughtful, collaborative journey towards personal growth.
Approach
Beginning from our conversations, I move from gentle curiosity into practical, paced work that honors your pace and priorities. I meet clients in Santa Cruz and online, offering sessions in English or French so we can keep momentum between meetings with brief reflections or simple practices. In session we trace patterns in relationships, moods and transitions, try small experiments, and name choices that feel manageable; I stay collaborative and clear about next steps. People navigating change, separation, or anxiety often feel steadier with this pace.
