Merrisa Dawn Santos (She/Her)

In embracing a holistic approach to counseling, my patients can expect a therapeutic journey that transcends traditional boundaries, addressing the interconnected facets of mind, body, and spirit. Throughout our work together, individuals often experience a profound shift in their understanding of self and their place in the world. One notable aspect of my approach is the emphasis on fostering self-awareness and mindfulness. Patients frequently describe a heightened sense of consciousness about their thoughts, emotions, and behavioral patterns. Together, we explore these elements with curiosity and without judgment, paving the way for a deeper understanding of personal strengths and areas for growth. The integration of diverse therapeutic modalities is another hallmark of my practice. I draw from various approaches, tailoring our sessions to meet the unique needs and preferences of each individual. This dynamic and flexible approach ensures that our work together is a truly personalized and effective exploration of your emotional landscape. Furthermore, I prioritize creating a collaborative and inclusive therapeutic environment. Patients frequently share feelings of comfort and safety, knowing that our sessions are spaces free from judgment. This collaborative spirit extends to the bilingual aspect of my practice, ensuring that language is not a barrier to effective communication and understanding.
