Who am I? A first-generation American. Native New Yorker. Latinx woman (Half Ecuadorian, half Argentinian). Feminist. Wife. Traveler. Dog-Mama. Daughter. Hiker. Sister. Friend. Foodie. Therapist. Change-Maker. Coach. Guide. Perfectly Imperfect. Evolving. Based on my 20 years of experience supporting people, I know three things to be true: • Your path for change and healing is sacred and unique • Our working relationship is also sacred • Our collaboration should be a good “fit” for both of us Additionally, there are a few guiding principles that influence the work that I do as it relates to my clients: • You are whole and perfect, in spite of your imperfections • All of the answers you are looking for are within you • Only you can heal yourself • Walking the path of change and healing requires effort and will be really uncomfortable at times • It is absolutely possible and essential to be gentle with yourself (and others), to find ways to laugh, and find pockets of joy along the way How I see my role in this supportive relationship: • To hold a sacred space for you to share openly and freely • To be a mirror—to help you to examine your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs to see how they are or aren’t working for you • To act as a guide and a cheerleader—providing emotional and practical support • To hold you accountable to the intentions that you have set for yourself If this resonates with you and you’re interested in the possibility of working together, then I invite you to email me to schedule a consultation call. I offer psychotherapy in New York State and life coaching nationwide. Psychotherapy website: www.jsocastro.com Life Coaching website: www.soulseekersnyc.com
