Nitza Arroyo Santiago, LICSW

Psychotherapist
DC
Hi, Iâm a bilingual English and Spanish social worker from Puerto Rico. I work with children, teens, and young adults, and Iâm passionate about creating a safe and supportive space where my clients can feel seen, heard, and valued. Iâve had the privilege of working in both school and clinical settings, supporting clients facing challenges such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, selfesteem struggles, selfharm, and suicidality. I know that reaching out for help can be difficult, especially when life feels overwhelming. My goal is to walk alongside you through those tough moments and help you build the tools to heal, grow, and reconnect with your strengths. I believe that everyone has the capacity for change, and therapy can be a powerful space to rediscover hope and confidence. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and culturally sensitive. Being bilingual allows me to connect deeply with clients in both English and Spanish, helping you express yourself in the language that feels most natural to you. I draw from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy CBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy DBT, StrengthBased Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ACT, TraumaFocused CBT, and SolutionFocused Brief Therapy to meet your unique needs. Whether youâre struggling with anxiety, recovering from trauma, or simply trying to find your place in the world, Iâm here to offer support, understanding, and guidance. Together, weâll work toward healing and building the life you want â one step at a time.

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.
