“Letter on this counselor’s door…”

If you’ve come knocking on this virtual office door to my once active counseling practice, I hope you will receive these words of explanation, gratitude, assistance and blessing.

Although I recently retired from active clinical practice, I remain open to informal consultations with colleagues, career changers, students and ministry leaders. I am exiting the arena of professional counseling with a deep sense of gratitude, feeling honored by the opportunity to have known and collaborated with my counseling clients over the past sixteen years.

If you are a former client, or current therapist to a former client, and you’d like to reach me for general background information or a brief consultation, you can use the email address listed above.

Former clients and other inquirers might also be seeking “Licensed Professional Counseling Services for Developing Individual, Relational, and Career Effectiveness,” (the original byline of Collaborative Counseling, LLC). Here are links to the primary website directories that I recommend for finding counselors with skills and specializations similar to mine:

• Find a Therapist, Psychologist, Counselor – Psychology Today https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists
• Counseling & Therapy with Values. Find a Marriage Counselor, Psychologist, or Therapist. https://www.theravive.com/
• Christian Therapists | Christian Counselor Directory https://www.christiancounselordirectory.com/FindATherapist/

In your search for professional counseling services, I encourage you to take advantage of the geographical breadth of candidates available through telehealth, talk directly with several viable candidates, and stay “in the hunt” until you find the right match for a solid therapeutic alliance.

If you are also hunting for something deeper than a sense of emotional and mental “shalom” (peace with contentment), consider these words from St. Augustine:

~“You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.”~

For anyone who is burdened by their struggle to find rest for their heart, or a durable source of grace, wisdom and strength, I pray you might give sincere consideration to Jesus and His gospel. From my own life and career journey, I can attest to the unshakeable truth of Jesus Christ, who invites us into this deep rest through fellowship with the Father and the mediating power of His Holy Spirit.

Whatever benefits my clients might have gleaned from our work together, I frankly confess and give full credit to God as the ultimate source of any blessings of insight, encouragement or grace we experienced in the course of our sessions.

Warmest regards,

Robert Castle, LCPC
