Compassionate Care, Grounded in Science

Dr. Synthia Felipe Castro has extensive experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, families, schools, and organizations. She develops individualized behavioral interventions designed to strengthen communication, adaptive functioning, social skills, and overall quality of life.

​

Born to Cuban immigrant parents and raised in the heart of Little Havana in Miami, Dr. Felipe Castro grew up in a close-knit community where family, culture, and service to others were deeply valued. She is fully bilingual in English and Spanish and is committed to helping families access high-quality behavioral services in the language in which they feel most comfortable.
