It takes a tremendous amount of courage to reach out to a therapist for help with life's difficult challenges, and to find hope in the midst of struggle. It is my joy as a therapist, and as a human being, to help individuals find that hope within themselves. I have many years of experience helping individuals of all ages with anxiety, depression, relationship and communication issues, anger management, PTSD, childhood trauma, ADHD, substance use and grief and loss. I especially enjoy working with young people trying to navigate these challenges. I also work with couples and older adults. Grief and loss is an area of expertise.

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Hello, I'm Ronda, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I specialize in working with immigrant and first-generation adults navigating family dynamics, personal growth, and emotional wellness in New York City.

My approach is warm, supportive, and practical. I utilize evidence-based approaches including CBT, EMDR, ACT, etc, to help clients process difficult experiences, improve emotional regulation, strengthen boundaries, and develop healthier coping strategies.

Many of my clients are high-functioning individuals who appear successful outwardly while internally struggling with worry, emotional exhaustion, self-doubt, or unresolved childhood experiences. Therapy with me provides a space to gain insight, build confidence, and create meaningful change.

My goal is to help clients feel more grounded, emotionally balanced, and empowered in their daily lives.

Maria LoCastro

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Welcome to Headway. My name is Maria LoCastro, LCSWR. I've been a clinical social worker for over 20 years and have been working in the mental health field for almost 30 years. My path has been shaped by a deep interest in understanding how people adapt, cope, and heal through difficult experiences. I’ve worked across a range of settings, including outpatient mental health clinics, community-based programs, and leadership roles where I’ve supervised clinicians and helped shape services. These experiences shaped my approach to be both insight-driven and practical—helping clients understand themselves more deeply while also making meaningful, lasting changes in their daily lives.
