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 a MFT state approved supervisor and is an AAMFT approved supervisor. Providing her practice as a space for learning is a way she returns to her roots as a teacher. She is flexible to work with the supervisees to manage their schedules and individualized learning.
