Integrative Solutions
I use evidence-based and empowering approaches to help you find meaningful solutions to your most important goals. By integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Hypnotherapy, and Mindfulness, I support you in strengthening confidence, expanding emotional resilience, and feeling supported through each stage of life.

Hi, I'm Patty...
You want to feel calmer, more confident, and more connected to yourself—but stress, anxiety, or the challenges of motherhood may have you feeling overwhelmed. I understand, because I’ve been there too.
I’m Patty M. Castellanos, a Cuban-American, wife, and mom of two. Motherhood reshaped my life in profound ways—my son’s Cesarean birth in 2011 shifted how I viewed birth and myself, and my daughter’s VBAC in 2015 became a healing journey that inspired me to support other women through their own transformations. That passion became the foundation for my private practice, The Expression Center.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Clinical Hypnotherapist, I bring both professional expertise and compassionate care to my work. I earned my Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University, advanced certification in Clinical Hypnosis through the International Association for Counselors and Therapists, and additional certifications as a HypnoBirthing® Childbirth Educator, HypnoFertility Practitioner, and Gentle Menopause Practitioner. I am also an active member of the American Counseling Association, the International Association for Counselors and Therapists, the International Certification Board of Clinical Hypnotherapy, and the HypnoBirthing Institute.
Through a blend of traditional therapeutic approaches and the power of hypnosis and mindfulness, I help women release fear, ease anxiety, and build self-trust. Whether you’re navigating life’s everyday challenges or seeking support through fertility, pregnancy, motherhood, or peri/menopause, you don’t have to do it alone. Bilingual in English and Spanish, I am committed to making this support both accessible and inspiring.

Service offerings and approach to support your goals
Acceptant and Commitment Therapy
Acceptant and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps you build a healthier relationship with your thoughts and emotions so they no longer hold you back. Instead of trying to eliminate difficult feelings, ACT teaches you how to make space for them while choosing actions aligned with your values.
Through practical skills—like cognitive defusion, acceptance, and committed action—you learn to notice unhelpful patterns, reduce their impact, and respond with greater flexibility and strength. This approach helps you move through challenges with purpose and resilience. ACT integrates naturally with mindfulness and hypnotherapy, supporting emotional regulation, psychological flexibility, and meaningful, lasting change.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy uses the power of hypnosis to create meaningful, lasting change. In this safe and comfortable state of focused attention, you remain aware and in control while letting go of day-to-day concerns.
When your mind is relaxed and open, you become more receptive to new ideas and beliefs—making it easier to release fear, quiet self-doubt, and create the new beliefs you want for yourself. Hypnosis is a proven, effective tool that complements therapy and coaching by helping you move past blocks and bring your goals into conscious action with greater ease and confidence.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness helps you build a calmer, more grounded relationship with your thoughts, emotions, and body. Through simple, intentional practices, you learn to slow down, notice the present moment, and respond with steadiness instead of reacting from emotional experiences..
As your awareness grows, you notice patterns sooner, soften emotional intensity, and create more space to choose how you respond. Daily challenges start to feel more manageable. Mindfulness integrates naturally with therapy and coaching, supporting emotional regulation, nervous system balance, and lasting change.
