Khara is originally from the Pacific Northwest and gets her best ideas walking outside and being around water.

    Alejandro Castro is a bilingual, bicultural, Trauma and Addiction Counselor and owner/Lead Clinician of Transcending Consulting Group in Denver, Colorado. 

    A First generation immigrant from Mexico who accomplished his dream in higher education, receiving an AA in Pastoral Ministry (Dallas, Texas), Bachelor of Science in Human Services (MSU in Denver, Colorado) and MA in Community Counseling from Regis University (Denver, Co).  He is continuing to pursue his MA/Ph.D. from Pacifica Graduate Institute in Jungian and Archetypal Studies. Alex’s passion includes training, teaching, counseling, and consulting. He has been an Adjunct Professor for the Human Services Department at MSU-Denver for 10 years. As a clinician, he’s constantly reminded to engage in the art of self-care within the 5 domains of self. He has learned in his experience as a human in the clinical role, that the human comes first, then the professional side. Therefore, he has learned to honor and respect the human part of ourselves first in order to be effective in the profession role.  His Depth/Jungian perspective always defaults back to soul work and soul tending (therapy). He recently pivoted his practice to ongoing soul-tending from a Trauma-Informed Psycho-Spiritual approach that includes Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Experiencing, Sound Healing, and Culturally-relevant approaches that honor the client's lived experiences.
