Getting to know Luis Otero DeSantiago

Hi there, I'm Luis! Welcome! My name is Luis A. Otero, LMHC. I specialize in treating PTSD/Trauma, Anxiety Disorder, Addiction, and Depression. I help clients process past traumas affecting them in adulthood in a safe, comfortable environment. It's my hope that together, we can uncover the causes of feelings like panic, detachment, low motivation, or sadness you've experienced. My approach I use an eclectic mix of therapies to help you develop a relaxed muscular state, increase insight, and build behaviors that protect your peace. Techniques I use include EMDR, Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Bibliotherapy. My focus I work with men and women ages 18 to 65 experiencing significant distress affecting daily functioning. This may include panic, depression, anxiety, or detachment. Clients may have sexual trauma, combat trauma, or be recovering from natural disasters, seeking therapy to process their experiences. Others may be recovering from addiction and need someone who understands its complexity. My clients are generally self-motivated to heal and learn more about themselves. I do not work with native Spanish speakers, men under 18, or those older than 65. My communication style I provide a private, safe, non-judgmental space for clients to discuss mental health concerns. I am direct and assertive, modeling appropriate boundaries to help clients use boundaries in their daily lives. My journey to mental healthcare I've always been fascinated by human behavior and find mental health work rewarding and challenging. I earned my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Nova University, equipping me with the knowledge and skills to support clients effectively.
