I am a relational and systems-oriented therapist who works with individuals, couples, and families. My work focuses on helping people understand the patterns that shape how they relate to others and to themselves. I believe the relationship we develop with ourselves is foundational, and that many experiences such as anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm,
and disconnection are rooted in adaptations that once served an important purpose.
I work with thoughtful, capable individuals who are ready to better understand themselves andcreate meaningful change. Together, we explore the emotional, relational, and contextual factors influencing your present experience, and work toward greater clarity, stability, and self-
trust.
I specialize in couples and family work, supporting clients in strengthening communication, rebuilding trust, and navigating relational challenges with greater understanding. I also work with individuals seeking to address anxiety, perfectionism, identity questions, and life
transitions, or who want to develop a more grounded and supportive relationship with themselves.
My approach integrates Emotion-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. I offer a steady, respectful space where meaningful insight and lasting change can occur.

Everyone possesses unique strengths and internal assets that can be used to overcome challenges. My role as a therapist is to help you uncover and amplify your strengths, empower you to make positive changes, and find new paths toward well-being. I offer a supportive and open space for exploration, clarity, and growth using evidence-based techniques drawing from emotionally focused therapy, relational therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, internal family systems, and multicultural counseling.   I am committed to fostering personal growth, facilitating healing, and promoting holistic wellness. We all share the desire to be understood and loved as our most authentic selves. I want to provide a welcoming environment where you can embrace your individuality and explore your various identities. Our unique identities and worldviews are significantly shaped by our upbringing, beliefs, and life experiences. Together, we can access your inner powers on this self-discovery journey and navigate life’s complexities with confidence.   I earned my bachelor's degree double majoring in Applied Psychology and Economics at Boston College and my master's degree in Mental Health Counseling and Wellness at New York University. As a bilingual therapist, I can provide therapy in both Mandarin and English. I will meet you at your level of readiness for change and support you as you strive toward authenticity and growth.

Life has a poetic way of changing us. There are moments in our lives when the world we knew no longer feels the same. A relationship ends. We lose someone we loved deeply. Anxiety makes it difficult to trust ourselves. We feel stuck, lost, burdened by expectations, or fearful of the future. Sometimes nothing dramatic has happened at all, yet we find ourselves wondering, “Who am I?” “Is this the life I want?” or “Am I making the right decisions?”

Although our paths in life may be different, they have crossed in this moment. I understand what it means to have life change around you and to make sense of who you are afterward. I survived the Liberian Civil War as a child, an experience that left an indelible impact on my life and shaped my understanding of perseverance, uncertainty, loss, resilience, and our human need to feel safe, seen, wanted, and connected. It taught me that survival is not limited to extraordinary circumstances. Sometimes we survive emotionally by shutting down, overthinking, people pleasing, avoiding or suppressing difficult feelings, or repeating familiar behavioral patterns.

But consequently, we come to therapy in search of something deeply human and essential to a fulfilling life. We want to feel chosen, seen, understood, valued, and connected. We want to know that we matter and that we are worthy. We want to live authentically without fearing rejection or abandonment and feel connected to someone, something, or somewhere that gives our lives meaning and purpose.

That understanding is at the heart of my work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, suicidal thoughts, self doubt, and life transitions. My approach is integrative and influenced by trauma informed care, existential therapy, mindfulness, somatic interventions, attachment-based therapy, and interpersonal neurobiology.

Together, we explore what has shaped you, what may be keeping you stuck, and who you want to become. Together, we can create a space where you feel seen, understood, and supported.

I was born and raised in New York to first generation immigrant parents. I was able to see firsthand how the topic of mental illness has always been stigmatized within these vulnerable communities. I have entered the field as a mental health counselor to shatter the barriers to mental health care and end the stigma within these communities. I believe that growing up in an immigrant family can help me understand you as a person, regardless of race, gender, or ethnicity. My multicultural competency and ability to see different perspectives enables me to meet people of all different backgrounds where they are.

I incorporate a collaborative and psychodynamic approach to psychotherapy, where we work together to understand your concerns and remove the barriers that are preventing you from flourishing. My integrative, therapeutic approach is through a social justice-oriented lens, which helps me provide you with culturally competent treatment. I will be open and nonjudgmental to your experiences and help you create and live a life you find fulfilling. My greatest strength is the ability to empathize and listen to you as the client. We will get to the root of the issue, no matter how challenging it may feel. I will guide you through the barriers in your present, as well as past events that are still holding you back. I believe that our work together can help you understand what has led you to your current circumstances, as well as what changes are possible. I will help monitor your progress toward your goals.

I have received my Bachelor’s in Public Health at SUNY Old Westbury, and also went on to receive my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling at SUNY Old Westbury. My master’s training has provided me with extensive experience helping those with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, trauma, domestic violence, adjustment and life transition issues, multicultural issues and other life situations. My previous experiences have encompassed populations that included the mentally disabled, college students, adolescents and domestic violence victims. I am fluent in English and Persian, with a working knowledge in Urdu.

My goal as a therapist is to prioritize your safety and well-being by fostering a supportive and comfortable environment in which you can freely express your thoughts and emotions. I aim to provide thoughtful guidance and practical resources that empower you to move toward a healthier and more fulfilled sense of self. Together, we will work to identify and overcome the obstacles that may be hindering your growth.

My therapeutic approach is eclectic and tailored to each client’s unique needs. I draw from psychodynamic therapy, multicultural frameworks, mindfulness practices, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to create a personalized and effective treatment experience.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Baylor University, where I served as a Mental Health Peer Leader and as an Interfaith Fellow for Better Together. In 2022, I completed my master’s degree in Mental Health and Wellness Counseling at New York University.

Every person has a story to tell. And every person’s story is unique. Sometimes sharing your story can feel overwhelming, intimidating and frightening. As your therapist, Margaret Castaldo offers a warm, welcoming space in which you can freely and safely reveal your present as well as your past—and craft your continuing story for the future.
Together, she will help you explore your individual narrative, unique experiences, challenges, relationships, thoughts, feelings and behaviors, to unpack issues that cause you difficulty and distress. Whether you’re grappling with the challenge of finding meaning and purpose, work-life issues, parenting, stress, anxiety or relationships, she endeavors to provide a supportive, authentic environment for you to explore your deeper self and opportunities for growth and healing.
Her approach is predominately drawn from psychodynamic theory in which insight is found through extended exploration, a process that slowly unravels longstanding patterns, thoughts, feelings and behaviors that may impede self- growth and discovery. Additionally, she is inspired by and draws understanding from her former work in the corporate creative space, the writing arts, volunteer teaching, as well as parenting.
She completed a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and Wellness at New York University. She also hold a Master’s degree in English and American Literature from New York University and a B.A. with honors in Political Science and English from the University of California, Irvine.
