I have over 15 years of working with diverse and underserved populations. I started Meraki Therapy in 2019. Since then, I grew my practice to Meraki Clinical Group. My team and I have served hundreds of individuals throughout the US, providing quality care to assist in overcoming life’s unexpected challenges.

Therapy With Soul, Heart, and Purpose

I love working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, and challenging life changes. We can work together to overcome these things. “Meraki” means doing something with soul, creativity, and love, leaving a part of yourself in your work.

I believe therapy should feel like a safe, supportive space where you can be yourself without judgment. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, relationship stress, family conflict, and major life transitions. As a Latina therapist, I understand how culture, family dynamics, and life experiences can impact emotional well-being. Many people are used to carrying stress quietly.

Supportive Care, Comfortable Space

My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical, using psychodynamic approaches to help clients process emotions, gain insight, and develop healthier ways to cope.

Stories of Healing, in Their Own Words

Athalia Haughton

Mabel is excellent and truly one of a kind! She is the only therapist I’ve worked with that actually helped me see results with my mental health and lifestyle. I started counseling with her two years ago, and as the saying goes, the hallmark of an amazing therapist is working themselves out of a job. Over time, I went from weekly meetings (sometimes even twice a week) to once a month—probably because I never want to leave! I’ve grown so much during our time together, and I can’t sing her praises enough.

Mabel Castro is an amazing psychologist who truly cares about the people she works with. She’s compassionate, patient, and really knows how to listen. She creates a safe, supportive space and gives thoughtful guidance that actually helps.

Mabel!!!! Where do I start? Man, I was in a dark place and a place where I didn’t know who I was anymore. I like a therapist who can connect with me and is just not there for the money... she took good care of me, listened, didn’t judge, and kept in touch. Treated me like she cared, and for that, I thank you. I’m in a happier place and a more stable place. Smiling again, getting back into my music career, and just feeling overall happier. I recommend her! She won’t let you down. And mind you, all of this was virtual, so I can only imagine what she can do in person!

Diosili Salazar

Dr. Castro is so wonderful and has been a great help in helping me with my journey. I have accessed other services before, but Dr. Castro has helped me overcome much of the things that have blocked me. I look forward to our sessions and how I can constantly improve my day-to-day life.

Alvaro Espeleta

Therapy really helped me a lot to overcome and close old chapters of my life that were holding me back, but thanks to the sessions, I was starting to ask the right questions and changing my way of thinking. Also, affirmations help a lot; you just need to be consistent with them. I will recommend this service without a second thought.
