Getting to know Denissie Santana

I’m Denissie Santana, LPC, a Licensed Professional Counselor who attended Montclair State University. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), health anxiety, and life transitions. I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to help clients better understand their thoughts, reduce distress, and build practical tools for everyday life. My style is collaborative, supportive, and goal-oriented. I work closely with clients to address patterns of overthinking, intrusive thoughts, and self-critical thinking, while also helping them build confidence and emotional resilience. I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable being honest, challenged, and supported throughout your growth. I believe that you don’t need to have everything figured out to be worthy of love, happiness, and connection. Through consistent effort and openness to change, I help clients make meaningful progress and feel more empowered in their lives. Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy spending time with my daughter, gardening, and being in nature. I also value time with my dog, which helps me stay grounded and present.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Denissie is an expert at her job. I've never fully been comfortable in therapy, but I feel very at ease in her presence. I never feel judge and for the first time I'm enjoying therapy and finding solutions to sort through my feelings and emotions.
