About Shana Castro, Clinical Director at Gulf Breeze Recovery

Here at Gulf Breeze Recovery, I have the privilege of serving as the Clinical Director and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Working with our guests, I have discovered an immense gratitude for the work of substance abuse treatment. I have experienced the devastating impacts of addiction within my own family and friends.

It is an honor to witness and experience the courage of our guests each day as they move through their program.

I am a Pensacola native and have earned my Master’s degree in Psychology with additional education in management and human resources. Prior to my role as Clinical Director, my history in the mental health field has included assisting psychiatric providers at local outpatient clinics and providing counseling services at our local county jail. My approach towards recovery is trauma- and relationally-focused, where I promote ways clients can meaningfully reconnect with themselves and those around them. Within my role at Gulf Breeze Recovery, I support the treatment team by facilitating a collaborative environment that prioritizes the health of both the guests and the staff to ensure that the staff provides, and our guests receive, the highest quality of care.
