Getting to know Alli Santa

I practice from a place of empathy and genuine understanding as I've known what it's like to experience tragedy and difficulty in life. I use different psychotherapy methods in order to help each client with their individual difficulties. As therapy is a very personal experience and can sometimes be a little scary and/or overwhelming I facilitate a judgement free and safe environment where I encourage clients to express their frustrations as well as help them gain knowledge and insight to inspire healthy beliefs and attitudes towards the difficult circumstances' life throws their way. Making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear and pain can bring life altering results. I've also been known to incorporate a little humor throughout the healing process. It's important to keep in mind that therapy is not a quick overnight fix. It's a healing process which requires participation from both the client and the counselor. In order for counseling to be successful, there must be a mutual respect, and honesty is important for the therapeutic relationship.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I am very client/person centered. I want the client to feel safe, heard and feel as though they are gaining the most from their time. This is the clients time, and I want to help them achieve their goals.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We would first set up a time for a quick virtual consultation. Then we would discuss documentation needed, insurance coverage and other necessary information to set up a time for a full Diagnostic Intake Session.
