Dr Carolina Castanos

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“I am a marriage and family therapist specialized in relationships and trauma treatment. I work with marital and divorce issues.”

About Me

Navigating complex relationship dynamics or healing from past trauma can feel deeply isolating. I work with individuals and couples to navigate marital challenges, divorce, and the impact of past events. I offer a calm, collaborative space to gently explore what’s happening for you. Together, we can build clearer communication and find ways to heal. My aim is to help you build resilience and find a way forward.

Approach

When memories or conflict keep showing up between you and your partner, I help slow interactions so you can choose a different response. In Greensboro or online, in English or Spanish, sessions move at a measured pace with short experiential exercises, breath- and body-focused checks, and guided processing that you can practice between meetings. I balance safety with steady skill-building—naming patterns, practicing new ways to speak, and tracking small shifts. This approach fits people navigating trauma’s impact on relationships or the stresses of separation who want practical, steady support.
