ReConnect, in Austin, Is a New Integrative Center for Mental Health for Healing Inside and Out


Located in a quiet neighborhood in Austin, Texas, away from the traffic and city noise, ReConnect is a warm, peaceful, and inviting space where anyone can come to reach their wellness goals. Dr. Carolina Castaños and her team of wellness professionals work with individuals, couples, families, organizations, and small groups to improve their minds, bodies, and souls using holistic and science-backed treatments and programs.

Dr. Castaños, a psychotherapist who’s worked in the mental health space for more than two decades, is a firm believer in the benefits of an integrative approach to wellness. When asked what makes ReConnect different from other wellness centers, her face lights up as she explains.

“Our practitioners work together to develop client-centered programs and therapies to help people heal, depending on what you need and where you’re at in the healing process. At ReConnect, you get a personalized wellness program designed to meet your needs,” states the founder, Dr. Castaños. She continues, “We focus on the healing process and providing a space to learn and realize that taking care of our mental health through these practices is crucial for a healthy and happy life; with tools to use whenever life happens, and difficulties arise.”

“To heal, we need to bring attention to our mind, which involves not only our nervous system but its relationship with the internal world (thoughts, feelings, emotions, sensations, our bodies, and our spiritual connection) as well as the relationship with our external world (other individuals and our environment),” Dr. Castaños continues to explain. “At ReConnect, we offer our clients holistic options like acupuncture, sound therapy, functional nutrition, therapeutic yoga, specialized psychotherapy, Ayurveda, and other therapies to deliver a more profound healing experience. The services we provide are carefully considered to work in conjunction with each other to promote the highest degree of healing possible.”

ReConnect strives to be a place where people come for complete healing, but it’s also a place for creating community and, as Dr. Castaños puts it, the “undoing of aloneness.” Today’s social climate promotes loneliness and isolation—with the recent pandemic deepening the epidemic of loneliness. In fact, a recent Harvard report suggests that 36% of all Americans feel “significant loneliness.”

“When you walk through the doors of ReConnect, you meet other people who are feeling what you’re feeling. We all suffer. We all experience isolation to some degree, but when we come together, we realize that this is common to all humans, we realize we’re not alone, there is nothing wrong with us, we are just hurting and need help,” says Dr. Castaños.

ReConnect aims to offer even more holistic services and workshops to further advance healing and wellness in the coming months, with the following programs:

  • Mindful Self Compassion
  • Ayurveda for Mental Health
  • Stress, Nutrition, and Exercise
  • Yoga for Grief
  • Leadership & Creativity for Female Entrepreneurs

There will also be monthly Master Classes including:

  • Sleep and Health
  • Importance and Difference between Probiotics and Prebiotics
  • The ins and outs of Ayurveda
  • Qi-Gong to reduce Anxiety
  • The Wise of Yoga
  • Herbs and Chinese Medicine
  • Functional Labs – How are they different and why are they important

As ReConnect grows, one thing won’t change— Dr. Castaños and her team’s commitment to preserving a tight-knit space that feels like a loving home to all.

ReConnect is located at 8724 Mountain Crest Dr. in Austin, TX. For more information about the wellness center, visit their website at https://reconnecthealth.com.
