Meet Kimberly Castelo

Hi, I'm Kimberly

(she/her)

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist. I am the founder and owner of Healing Moments Counseling, a practice that focuses on sex therapy, attachment, social justice, and all types of relationship constellations.

I am a Washington and North Carolina State Supervisor, an AAMFT Supervisor, an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist Supervisor and an EFT Supervisor. I also provide sex supervision through the Modern Sex Therapy Institute and The Cannon Institute.

As a national speaker, I enjoy speaking on topics of faith, sexuality, grief, coping with Multiple Sclerosis, high tone pelvic floor, menopause and more! As a teacher, I can’t emphasize enough, the freedom that comes from education!

Fun Facts: I am a wife, a mother, and animal lover. I have seven animals in total, two of which are two beautiful rescue horses. When I am not working, you can find me outdoors with my family and our horses, cooking for neighbors, or doing yoga on my front porch! I love to learn and can always be found taking a course about attachment, relationships or sex!

Medical community

As you care for others, my job will be caring for you and your relationships. I have several years of experience as a chaplain working in a hospital alongside a medical team, so I understand the pressures you face on a daily basis and the effects these have on family dynamics. I realize it is important to find a place where you are seen as just yourself and not as a doctor, nurse, etc. If that is something you are looking for, then I am here to help!

Other Therapists

I recognize that being a therapist and finding a therapist for yourself can be challenging. As we know, therapists need support in examining their own lives, stories, and trauma not only to enhance their lives, but their clinical work as well. I have extensive experience working with therapists for individual and couples therapy. My goal is always to facilitate an environment where you feel held and seen.

Supervision and Consultation

Supervision and Consultation: I love supervising and consulting on cases. I find working with other therapists on how to strengthen their craft to be something deeply rewarding.

  • I can provide supervision for LMFTA and LMHCA in the state of Washington.
  • I can provide state supervision to LMFTA in the state of North Carolina.
  • I can provide nationwide sex therapy supervision and sex therapy consultation.
  • I can provide nationwide Emotion Focused Therapy supervision to those wanting to learn more on how to work with couples from this approach and to those who want to become certified in EFT, EFIT or EFFT.

Session Fees:

  • $250 for an individual/couple 50-minute session
  • $375 for an 80-minute session

Kim brings a listening ear and so much wisdom as she counsels. You can dump your stuff and she’s not phased by it. She’s a great partner in the healing process. We could all use another counseling session with Kim!
