As an intern at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, Castillo talked and played with ill children to try and make their hospital stay easier. Many of the children had life-threatening diseases, but that did not keep them from smiling and laughing. Working with sick children was inspiring. Castillo's time at Conerstone Counseling in suburban Brookfield narrowed her focus, helping her decide that someday she'd like to open a private practice. Several of the counselors acted as Castillo's mentors, helping with ideas for class assignments and writing letters of recommendation to graduate school.
Psychology is such a broad field.
Children's Hospital taught me that personality-wise, psychology and I are a good fit. Cornerstone showed me the overall picture of how a counseling center works, and how I will need to run things when I start a private practice of my own.
