Welcome!
Are you needing support? Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply seeking self-discovery, I’m here to help. With a foundation of radical compassion and attunement, my mission is to reveal your innate wisdom, strengths, and coping mechanisms. Together, we can collaborate on your personal growth and journey towards fulfillment.
Hello, I’m Lee and thank you for visiting my website. That must mean you are looking into your own potential to being a “Happy Homo”, “Happy Homosexual, a “Happy Homosapien”, or are exploring your journey towards self-discovery, growth, freedom and hopefully joy.
We are all having a human experience and in that we have an array of emotions to experience. Sometimes we get stuck visiting a specific emotion due to trauma, heartache, or adversity, and that’s where I come in, or psychotherapy comes in.
If you are interested in psychotherapy and think this a good fit, I look forward to working with you. If not, I wish you the best on your journey.
“Let your own greatness, social connections, and self-love act as a counterweight to those negative messages.“
J. Lee Castillo, LCSW
I’m an out and proud gay man and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in the Palm Springs, California area. I am happy to serve the Coachella Valley in person or via telehealth. Like many, I came to Palm Springs to have a taste of freedom, queer joy, opportunities, and positive experiences. I was born and raised in Utah and couldn’t be happier to be living in the desert. I am excited you are here and are exploring the idea of therapy.
