Dr. Sam del Castillo is a Stanford-trained, bilingual licensed psychologist and gender specialist.
After years in academia, I founded Alma Healing to reach communities that needed it most. As someone with a personal connection to the BIPOC, immigrant, and LGBTQ+ communities, I knew how rare it was to feel truly understood by a therapist. I wanted to build a practice where clients didn’t have to explain themselves before real work could begin.
My experiences also shaped my belief in deep, thoughtful therapy - the kind that goes beneath the surface. Alma Healing gave me the freedom to practice therapy and connect with clients the way it was meant to be done: in genuine, long-term relationships where real transformation becomes possible.

I am a member of the Technology Conscious Therapists group. Your privacy is important to me - I believe the safety and privacy of the therapeutic relationship extends to how technology is used in our work together. I use technology and digital tools only with your consent and in full transparency, so you can always feel secure in our space.
