Meet the Team
We never stop learning, because life never stops teaching.
Meghan Castillo Family Therapy, PLLC is a home for emerging professionals that are eager to learn, ready to use their creativity and sharpen their professional skills. Interns enjoy the freedom to explore their therapeutic theories and approaches and develop their entrepreneurial skills and knowledge. We challenge interns to develop their own groups, work with families and couples, and be responsible for processes needed to sustain a private practice. In addition, MCFT offers training in DBT and all aspects of leading a comprehensive DBT program.
​
Meghan Castillo is the clinical supervisor on site. She is an AAMFT approved supervisor candidate and is a MFT state approved supervisor. Providing her practice as a space for learning is a way she returns to her roots as a teacher and learner.

Niara Malveaux
Student Intern
“But feelings can’t be ignored, no matter how unjust or ungrateful they seem” -Anne Frank
Niara Malveaux is a born and raised Houstonian. She is the middle child of three and has always been at the top of her class, so she is no stranger to hard work and dedication.
Niara received her Child and Family Development Bachelor of Arts degree in 2021. She began her journey working with children babysitting, progressing to mentoring, teaching and directing programs in academics. Niara's understanding in the behaviors of children grew and working with families followed. This experience has shaped Niara into the mother she is now, teaching her the importance of early emotional development and providing an attentive, nurturing environment. Her personal experience throughout motherhood has deepened her understanding and desire to help families feel supported throughout life’s transitions and growth.
​
Niara is now seeking a Marriage and Family Therapy masters degree at Capella University. She aims to provide a safe space for her clients to learn and express more about their emotions while honing her skills in the use of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
