Dr. Dimas Tollinchi-Castro

Dr. Dimas Tollinchi-Castro is a clinical social worker with two decades of experience in New York. He holds a Doctor of Social Work and practices as an LCSW. He brings a culturally responsive perspective shaped by his mixed heritage and long ties to the city.

He focuses on common but serious concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, and depression. He also helps people facing body image worries, attachment issues, caregiver stress, and isolation or loneliness. Sessions aim to address everyday struggles and longer-standing patterns that make life harder.

His practice emphasizes patient-centered care and social justice. That means conversations center on each person's goals, background, and values. He speaks both English and Spanish and draws on twenty years of clinical experience when choosing how to work with someone.

Clients can expect a mix of practical conversation and skill-building. He pays attention to how culture and life experience shape thoughts and behavior. He also helps people work through feelings like guilt, shame, and difficulty forgiving oneself or others.

Dr. Tollinchi-Castro trained at New York University, Adelphi University, and Long Island University. His work in New York has included a range of community settings. People seeking to address mood disorders, panic, post-traumatic stress, or social anxiety may find his background relevant.

How evidence-based methods translate into online care

Dr. Tollinchi-Castro uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common concerns. Cognitive approaches help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is useful for anxiety, panic, and mood problems. Trauma-informed methods focus on safety and pacing while helping people process distressing experiences and symptoms related to post-traumatic stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, history, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. Some people find online conversations help maintain continuity of care during life transitions, while others prefer in-person meetings; the therapist will help weigh those practical factors when arranging sessions.
