Castle Rock Family Services
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMFT, LCSW, AMFT, ACSW
We founded Castle Rock Family Services with a simple yet powerful belief: that we could be a force for positive change in our community. So many people are struggling, and we are committed to walking alongside them, providing support through a collaborative and compassionate approach to therapy.
Our goal is to meet clients where they are in their journey and empower them to work toward their goals. Personally, I specialize in working with children and teens, helping them navigate life’s challenges with confidence and resilience. One of the greatest privileges of my work is collaborating with our incredible team of therapists—an inspiring group of compassionate, dedicated, and knowledgeable professionals who are deeply committed to supporting our clients, their families, and the community as a whole.
It is an honor to serve and support our community in every way we can, and I am grateful for the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

Alexis Cabrera
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LMHC, LPC
I am engaged and alert with my clients. I support your growth while Frustrating your defenses- I work to confront my clients in their blind spots, because (as a New Yorker) I understand that speaking from a place of love may not always mean people-pleasing. But with the warmth of my Californian identity, I work to be fluid and flexible, using somatic interventions to develop and cathart Embodied Trauma. Sometimes the history lives in the present.

Chris Doorley
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA
I'm a Humanistic psychotherapist seeing individuals both in-person in Mill Valley, CA, and online for people anywhere in California. My approach encourages people to meet each moment with their full capacity. In session, work includes bolstering emotional regulation, practicing awareness of mind and body, and getting curious with what may be possible. I love to work with people who are creative, motivated, and independent.
8 Years Experience
Online in Salinas, CA
Salinas is the county seat of Monterey County and the birthplace of John Steinbeck, a city with a majority Latino population deeply rooted in the agricultural economy of the Salinas Valley, and a mental health landscape shaped by the significant challenges of agricultural labor, immigration stress, gang violence in some neighborhoods, and limited access to culturally and linguistically appropriate care. Spanish-language therapy is essential here, and the demand for bilingual practitioners who understand the specific stressors of farmworker and immigrant community life significantly outpaces supply. Natividad Medical Center, a county-run hospital, provides some behavioral health services, and community health organizations supplement what is a relatively limited private therapy sector. Common therapy concerns include trauma, family separation stress, anxiety, depression, and the intergenerational challenges faced by a community navigating the intersection of a demanding agricultural economy and evolving cultural identity.
