Getting to know Angela Santana

Hi there, I'm Angela! My name is Angela Santana, and I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I LOVE being a therapist and am honored to be part of the healing journey with my clients. I believe that my clients are the true "experts" of themselves, and they hold the power for making change. My style is collaborative, genuine, and nonjudgmental, and I empower and motivate my clients within the therapeutic process. My approach I come from a diverse array of educational, career, and life experiences, and I bring an eclectic, client-centered, empathic, and accepting approach to my practice. I utilize a variety of techniques and skills drawn from evidence-based therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Art Therapy, Play Therapy, Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, and Relaxation. My focus I have a passion for working with individuals, children, teens, families, and couples. I have extensive experience working with clients with eating disorders, substance use, anxiety, depression, OCD, disruptive behaviors, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and trauma/PTSD. My clinical background includes providing school-based counseling services to underserved youth and serving as an in-home therapist with at-risk adult populations. My communication style My communication style is gentle, compassionate, and direct. I create a warm and nonjudgmental space for you to be yourself and establish trust. I will listen, validate, and acknowledge your feelings and thoughts. I'll meet you ?where you're at? and work collaboratively with you to come to your own answers and forge your own path forward. My journey to mental healthcare Prior to becoming a therapist, I spent 20+ years in various admissions departments helping people begin their journey in treatment for eating disorders, substance use, and trauma.
