Welcome to Self Awake Wellness!

I am so glad you are here, my name is Karla Castillo. My mission is to provide quality life coaching that helps my clients better understand themselves, connect with their life experiences and emotions, and address what has caused them to feel stuck and immobile.

Are you struggling with…

  • Depression

  • PTSD

  • Lack of confidence

  • Lack of motivation

  • Low self-esteem

  • Feelings of unworthiness and/or insecurity

…due to your past or present trauma?

I provide care to individuals of all ages, genders, identities, and orientations who have experienced domestic violence and abuse, however, I specialize in empowering women survivors.

My approach to therapy is one of understanding and compassion. I work collaboratively with my clients to best meet their needs, and I believe in challenging them to work toward their goals. My clients seem to appreciate my warm amiability and humor, which helps us create a nice bond. I never judge and always listen.

During Coaching…

I will establish a safe and comfortable environment to build a secure relationship with you.

I will show you empathy and respect as you share and express your trauma.

I will be gentle and respectful as I assist you in building self-trust.

I will help you connect with your feelings/emotions and process them to heal.

I will help you identify and understand unwanted patterns that have lasting effects on your growth.

I will assist you in recognizing your abilities, strengths, and capacity to heal and move forward with integrity throughout life transitions.

Life can be so incredibly challenging that it inhibits us from moving forward with our goals.

Let me help you through the obstacles that are holding you back.
