Welcome to Astacio Wellness! I'm Dr. Starlin Astacio, a licensed marriage and family psychotherapist in the states of Connecticut and New York, and national AAMFT approved supervisor with a wealth of experience in the field of mental health, spanning over 10 years. I am genuinely dedicated to assisting you at any stage of your personal journey. Many individuals seek my help to rediscover themselves, repair and strengthen relationships, and foster personal growth. I am passionate about systemic therapeutic work and specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families. It would be my pleasure to support you on your path towards healing and self-discovery. In my clinical practice, I primarily utilize the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model. However, I believe in the power of an integrative approach, drawing from a range of therapeutic techniques and modalities. My toolkit includes methods such as Structural Family Therapy, the Gottman method, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Informed modalities. By combining these diverse approaches, I can tailor the treatment to best meet your unique needs and goals. In our therapeutic process, I employ a collaborative and compassionate approach to assist you in connecting with and exploring the narratives that have shaped your perspectives and life views over time. Together, we will work towards uncovering these deeply ingrained patterns that may be hindering your progress. By fostering awareness and understanding, we can make valuable connections and identify any recurring unhelpful patterns that may be present. My goal is to support you in transforming these patterns and empowering you to lead a more fulfilling life. I am deeply passionate about the transformative work of therapy. My role is to offer unwavering support and guidance as we embark on a journey of self-discovery together. Throughout our sessions, we will delve into your past experiences, explore your future aspirations, and tap into your internal resources. By doing so, we will work towards creating a greater sense of balance in both your internal world and external life. Together, we will pave the way for personal growth, healing, and the realization of your full potential. If you are interested in scheduling a consultation with me, I warmly invite you to send an appointment request. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to connect with you and discuss your needs further. I am here to support you on your journey and look forward to speaking with you soon! - Dr. Astacio
