Under Clinical Supervision

Veronica Castro, Licensed Master Social Worker, 099635 is practicing under the supervision of Debra Susan Santora (New York, LCSW, 043520) at Working Remotely..

Please, note: A clinician listed as being “clinically supervised” is completing clinical hours toward their licensure. They have one or more fully licensed clinical supervisors that often have special training to become supervisors. They consult with their supervisor(s) on all of their cases, which means that, when working with them, you are getting the time and expertise of multiple therapists in your treatment.

What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?

It wasn't until I worked with community based organizations that I found my calling as a therapist. To see the resilience of individuals who were faced with such great adversity was inspiring. To also have those clients share their personal experiences, and allow me to guide them in their journey was humbling. I choose the field of social work since it is rooted in fighting for social justice, while also preserving the integrity of an individual.

What would be important for someone to know about working with you?

I believe the therapeutic process is a journey in self-discovery, where you are the driving force towards creating the life that you envision. My aim is to provide compassionate and non-judgmental guidance, as we work together to address any challenges you may be facing. You don't have to go through this alone, I will support you every step of the way as you embark upon self-healing and growth.
