Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In supporting patients with postpartum depression, I provide a compassionate and understanding environment to explore their experiences. Through education and open discussion, we work together to increase awareness and understanding of postpartum depression symptoms and triggers. I help them develop coping strategies to manage their emotions and navigate the challenges they may face. Additionally, I offer support in accessing resources and building a strong support network. The goal is to empower them to prioritize their mental health and well-being during this challenging time and facilitate their journey toward recovery and emotional wellness.
