Dr. Keotia Casterlow
Licensed Therapist in Greensboro, NCPresident & CEO | LCMHCA | Ed.D in Urban Educational Leadership
Hello, and welcome. Whether you are a parent worried about your child’s school performance or an adult navigating a difficult life transition, I am honored you are here. My goal is to help you move from simply surviving your week to thriving in it.
👉 Work With Me – Schedule a ConsultFrom the School Hallway to Private Practice
For over 20 years, I walked the halls of K–12 schools right here in Guilford County. As a School Counselor, I saw firsthand the heavy backpacks children carry—not just filled with books, but with anxiety, social pressure, and unvoiced fears.
I loved my time in education, but I often felt the limitations of the school day. I wanted to go deeper. I wanted to create a space where I could support not just the student, but the whole person and the whole family without the bell ringing to end the session.
I founded Creative Counseling Works to be that space. I bring my two decades of educational experience into the therapy room, offering a unique perspective for families navigating the school system, IEPs, and the social dynamics of growing up today. But I also bring a passion for helping adults rediscover their voice after years of putting everyone else first.
Who I Help
My background allows me to bridge the gap between "clinical mental health" and "real-world application." I work with children, teens, and adults throughout the Triad, specializing in:
Anxiety & Depression
Helping you untangle the knot of worry using evidence-based tools so you can regain your peace of mind. Explore our individual counseling options.
Autism Spectrum Disorders
Providing neurodiversity-affirming support for individuals and families navigating the diagnosis and daily life.
School-Related Stress
Leveraging my background as an Education Specialist to help students manage academic pressure. Perfect for Lindley Park and Adams Farm students.
Life Transitions
Supporting adults through career changes, relationship shifts, and the search for purpose.
How We Will Work Together
Therapy is not "one size fits all." My style is collaborative and strength-based. I believe you already possess the inner strength needed to heal; my job is to help you find it.
My Core Methodologies:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Interrupting negative thought loops and replacing them with data-driven reality.
- Psychodynamic Therapy: Exploring how your past shapes your present patterns.
- Family Systems: Understanding your role within the household. See our family counseling approach.
- Couples Work: Helping partners communicate. See our couples counseling services.
