Hello, my name is Anmol! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor offering a collaborative, warm, and culturally attuned approach to therapy—grounded in honesty, empathy, and real connection. I specialize in relational work and help clients explore how identity, family dynamics, and early roles shape their current relationships and self-perception. Many of the individuals I work with are in the process of discovering who they are or discovering who they want to be—untangling patterns of perfectionism, caregiving, and cultural expectation along the way.
I earned my Master’s in Mental Health and Wellness Counseling from NYU, and a dual Bachelor’s in Psychology and Human Health from Emory University. My work integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, guided imagery, and somatic practices.
As a South Asian therapist raised in Miami, I bring a multicultural lens to the therapy space, particularly when working with South Asian, Caribbean, Latinx, East Asian, immigrant, and first-generation clients. I’m fluent in English, with working knowledge of Spanish and Hindi.
As a Civil War survivor from Liberia, I am keenly sensitive to human suffering and highly passionate with a sincere commitment to ameliorating problems in the lives of individuals so as to help them to maximize their full potential. My passion and devotion to working in the mental health field are driven by the axiom that one of the noblest things one can do with their life is to be of service to others. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in mental health hospitals, various social services agencies, community outreach, a mental health crisis hotline, and training the NYPD on mental health and suicide prevention.
I received my Master’s from New York University’s Counseling and Mental Health Wellness program and my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and International Studies from Indiana University -Bloomington.
I have clinical experience with helping people from all backgrounds. I hope to use my life as a beacon of light to help those that experienced and endured traumatic experiences by finding meaning in their lives, self-determination, purpose, independence, and autonomy. I have an integrative approach to therapy to fit an individual's unique needs and implement existential therapy to uplift individuals. I worked with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, relational issues, suicidal ideations, maladaptive behavioral patterns, and traumatic and emotionally painful life experiences. I also focus on utilizing trauma-informed modalities, somatic interventions, and mindfulness to help individuals process the past to safely and confidently live in the present.

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. * Please note that we will try our best to accommodate any therapist requests, in the event that we are unable to do so please know that all staff have extensive clinical training.
Throughout life people develop a variety of assumptions, strategies, and behaviors in order to protect themselves and cope with the world around them. Over time, however, we face challenges and circumstances when the ways that we have learned to react and process are no longer effective. I believe that therapy is an opportunity to understand ourselves and the context in which these patterns developed which enables us to make deliberate choices about how we see ourselves and relate to others. By exploring and developing this awareness, clients are able to understand their own agency in their lives and work toward their personal goals
I use a variety of relational and cognitive behavioral interventions to help clients identify patterns of behavior and assumptions and how those patterns fit into the lives that they want to be leading. I work with clients to create a safe environment to explore one's authentic motivations without judgment or rejection.
I work with individuals and people in monogamous and non-monogamous relationships, with the aim of helping them understand themselves and live in a way that feels authentic. My approach is focused on getting to the core of what keeps you feeling stuck, often looking at how the past continues to influence the present. The work can be challenging at times; however, it creates space for clarity, growth, and meaningful change.
My practice is rooted in person-centered, psychodynamic, and narrative therapy. I aim to be direct and thoughtful, creating a space where you can confront difficult truths while feeling supported. In relationship therapy, I help partners reset expectations and roles, develop their unique communication style, and build trust, leading to reconnecting with intimacy.
I hold a MA in Mental Health Counseling from New York University. Having moved countries multiple times, I am familiar with the stress and challenges of adjusting to new people and places while also carrying the grief of leaving friends, family, and pets behind. These experiences also taught me that while people come from different backgrounds, we can still bond over similarities or by exploring our differences.
In addition to English, I can also hold sessions in Czech and Slovak.
