Shelby Castile, LMFT
Marriage & Family Therapist | Claimed

For over 20 years, I have worked with individuals and couples in Orange County, CA, to heal, restore and rejuvenate relationships both with one another, and with themselves.

At the root of everything I do is a belief that asking for help can be the greatest act of love, for both yourself, and those you care about. I am honored to hold space for people, and help them, holistically, live their very best lives.

As a graduate of St Mary’s College, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, focusing on holistic approaches that bring balance to mind, body and spirit. I have worked in the therapy field, teaching relationship and communication skills to individuals and couples for over two decades, sharing the journey of hundreds of people. With deep roots in mindfulness-based approaches, my therapeutic style is richly eclectic, integrating several research-based modalities.

I specialize in all relationship issues including separation, divorce, and infidelity and assist each individual/couple with tools for better communication and acceptance. Aside from couples therapy, I have extensive experience working with anxiety, depression, grief, panic attacks, chronic stress, addictions, and eating disorders.

With integrity, compassion and understanding at the core of my practice, I work with each client to help build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing. I have participated in numerous speaking engagements in both Los Angeles and Orange Counties on the topics of how chronic stress and trauma can manifest in the body and on the benefits of mind-body balance. In addition to being a classically trained and skilled psychotherapist, I am an Advanced Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-500). I began practicing yoga over 15 years ago and immediately fell in love with the benefits of the practice.
