Hi, I'm Lisa "Santoshi" Castro,

MSW, MBA, LCSW, RYT200, CCTP

I am a licensed clinical social worker, certified yoga instructor, and certified clinical trauma professional. I am the founder of Karuna Counseling and Wellness and I have been right where you are. I struggled with creating a life that felt amazing, from both the inside and outside.  Personally, I battled with trauma, anxiety, depression, and substance use and decided to embark on a journey to better health. I desired physical, mental, and spiritual balance but as my life started “looking” and “appearing” so much better from the outside, on the inside I was still painfully struggling. And the key word to my struggle was- silently. 

Through my own personal therapy, I developed an interest in becoming a helping professional.  I spent the past 20 years studying and deepening my work as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist.   Then I was introduced to Yoga and some of the missing pieces for me to achieve a life that didn’t just look amazing from the outside but one that felt amazing from the inside started to become my reality. My life was transformed. 

I uncovered the secret recipe of blending the right components of psychotherapy with the scientific and spiritual practices of Yoga to create a truly transformational experience. Now I am sharing these life-changing strategies through Karuna Counseling and Wellness. People just like you are no longer struggling and are reaping the benefits of this method and are experiencing internal freedom, love, and joy.
