Getting to know Irma De Santiago

My name is Irma De Santiago. I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional dedicated to helping you overcome low self-esteem, break free from people-pleasing habits, and release the guilt of prioritizing yourself. I earned my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. My approach I use a humanistic and trauma-informed approach, providing a welcoming space to help you change unhelpful behaviors, cultivate self-compassion, boost self-esteem, and grow your confidence. I tailor therapy to each individual's needs and integrate tools like EMDR to process trauma and foster healing. My focus I focus on working with individuals healing from trauma, overcoming people-pleasing tendencies, and building self-confidence and self-worth. I specialize in helping overachieving people-pleasers and first-generation clients heal from generational trauma, embrace self-prioritization, and live authentically. My communication style My communication style is warm, empathetic, and collaborative, with a direct approach when needed. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel supported while providing honest and clear feedback to guide growth and healing. My journey to mental healthcare My personal journey has been deeply influenced by struggles with perfectionism, self-sacrifice, low self-esteem, and people-pleasing tendencies. Like many who have faced trauma, I often felt that my worth was defined by my achievements, constantly striving for the next degree or certification while feeling overwhelmed. Therapy was a game-changer for me! It offered a safe space where I could openly explore how my past experiences shaped my present. I learned that my emotions are valid, how to prioritize myself and let go of guilt, and that others' opinions don't define my reality. Most importantly, I discovered my inherent worth and began pursuing my goals with a healthier mindset.
