Judy Castro, LPC — Trauma, PTSD & Anxiety Therapist in Tucson

“Consejera profesional bilingüe en Tucson — terapia en inglés y español”


“Overcoming Life Challenges, Rebuilding Confidence, Restoring Hope”


  • Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in the past, replaying painful moments you wish you could forget?
  • Are you carrying anxiety or worry that makes it hard to relax, sleep, or feel like yourself?
  • Do you struggle with depression, loss, or the aftermath of trauma, wondering if life will ever feel normal again?
  • Maybe you’ve gone through a personal injury, accident, or abusive situation that changed everything — and despite your best efforts, the weight of it still lingers.

If any of this sounds familiar, you are not alone. And healing is possible.

I’m Judy Castro, LPC, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Tucson who specializes in individual counseling for adolescents (14+) and adults (18+). My passion is helping people overcome life’s challenges like trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression so they can rediscover hope, peace, and purpose.

También ofrezco consejería en español para adolescentes y adultos. Puedo ayudarle con ansiedad, depresión, traumas y otros desafíos emocionales.

(I also provide counseling in Spanish for adolescents and adults. I can help with anxiety, depression, trauma, and other emotional challenges.)

Why Choose Judy?

Choosing a therapist is deeply personal. Here’s what clients often appreciate about working with me:

  • Individual-focused care: I specialize in one-on-one counseling, giving you the personal attention you deserve. I do not provide couples counseling — my focus is entirely on you and your healing journey.
  • Faith-sensitive therapy: If you desire it, I can integrate Christian faith principles into our sessions, blending emotional and spiritual support.
  • Evidence-based approach: I use proven therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). These are short-term, practical approaches designed to bring meaningful results.
  • Compassionate presence: My clients describe me as warm, approachable, and easy to talk to. I work to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can share openly and begin to heal.

Background & Education

Since 2008, I have built an extensive experience in the mental health field, holding a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Argosy University and a Master’s Degree in Counseling from the University of Phoenix. Throughout my career I’ve dedicated myself to helping individuals navigate the challenges of trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My training includes advanced work in trauma recovery therapies, as well as ongoing professional development to provide the highest quality care.

I’ve seen firsthand how therapy can help clients regain their sense of identity, rebuild relationships, and restore hope — even after years of feeling stuck.
