Carla Pelcastre, LCSW-S
Founder, BOARD APPROVED SUPERVISOR, Trauma Specialist
LCSW-S, EMDR-TRAINED, TBRI® Practitioner
Carla specializes in complex trauma, high-conflict family systems, chronic mental health diagnoses, autism, and neurodivergence. Her work is grounded in vulnerability, authenticity, and lived compassion. Clients and clinicians experience her as both direct and deeply warm, a rare combination that allows people to feel safe while also being challenged in the best ways.
Carla’s own writing, The Second Wave, Crashing, inspired the name of the practice and continues to shape its mission. Her supervision style blends expertise, lived experience, mentorship, and a commitment to developing clinicians who lead with humanity.
