Getting to know Lisa Santiago

I am a licensed professional counselor specializing in trauma therapy. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), a highly effective approach that helps clients process distressing memories and reframe negative beliefs. My approach EMDR empowers individuals to process their experiences in a way that fosters clarity, relief, and lasting change. My focus I work with adults who have experienced trauma or whose past experiences continue to impact their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors today. My goal is to help you gain insight, heal from the past, and build a healthier future. My communication style I provide a nonjudgemental, caring, and supportive space where clients feel safe to explore their experiences. With empathy and understanding, I work to foster a trusting therapeutic relationship that encourages growth and self-compassion. My journey to mental healthcare My passion for helping others led me to earn a bachelor's degree in psychology, and a master's in counseling, and currently pursuing a PhD in psychology. I have always been driven by the desire to support people in overcoming challenges and living more fulfilling lives. My goals for you Together, we set realistic and attainable goals that align with your healing journey. I believe in a collaborative approach, ensuring that each step forward feels manageable and meaningful. My first session with you In our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy, your background, and what you hope to achieve in a safe and supportive space. I will take the time to understand your experiences, answer any questions you have about the process, and work with you to begin setting realistic and attainable goals for your healing journey.
