Hi, I’m Valeria Castrillo, a licensed clinical social worker and director of Rockville Behavioral Health Services (RBHS). With over 7 years of experience, I specialize in helping individuals build emotional resilience, navigate personal growth, and overcome life’s challenges. I understand that the journey towards healing is deeply personal, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

I specialize in a range of therapeutic techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed care. My experience spans across areas such as anxiety, depression, stress management, adjustment to changes, relationship struggles, intimate partner violence, immigration, substance use, and complex trauma. I’ve also been recognized as an expert in clinical social work, having provided expert testimony on trauma and evidence-based treatment practices.

I’ve had the privilege of working in various settings—non-profits, schools, mental health centers, and county agencies—where I’ve seen firsthand the power of therapy to bring out real, lasting change.

At RBHS, I create a safe, confidential space for you to explore your challenges and work towards positive change. My approach is client-centered, I will work with you to develop a personalized plan that reflects your unique needs and goals. Whether you’re dealing with life transitions, stress, or seeking deeper self-awareness, I’m here to walk with you on your path to growth. In our sessions, I’ll provide you with the guidance, insight, and tools needed to accomplish your therapeutic goals.

Let’s work together and take meaningful steps towards a healthier YOU. I’m here to help you create lasting change and feel confident in the journey ahead.
