My name is Betsy Castro and I am a Client Experience Expert and the founder of The Mental Health VA, we are a team of Mental Health Facilitators and we help therapists in private practice, by closing the gap between themselves and potential clients through digital exposure and communication services, that way therapists can continue to help in the healing journey of individuals and families through therapy. 

I am very passionate about being part of the evolution of the Mental Health industry. Therapy brought so much healing in my world in my late 20s, and had it not been because of all the stigma around mental health when I was a child, I probably would have received the help I needed sooner. I cannot change the past, but I consider my company my redemption. I am building an organization that empowers individuals to empower themselves and others. I want to play a role in breaking the stigma in mental health in third-world countries and crush the idea that "Therapy is just for the rich or the 'crazy'!"

For my team and I to be the voice in our communities that say "It is okay to seek therapeutic help."
