nik castle (any pronouns) is a trainee who attends Antioch University of Los Angeles in the Clinical Psychology program. They are queer, non-binary, socialized as female, and neurodivergent, and have a deep love and respect for the totality of the human experience. nik is excited to hold space for people as they navigate challenges and joys that might arise in the process of being. They are drawn both to humanistic and relational schools of thought in psychology—they believe that while every person contains within themselves all that they require to grow, heal, and discover themselves, feeling deeply understood and connected to others in a true sense of belonging are also important parts of what it means to feel nourished and fulfilled.
