Compassion Focus Therapy
Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In the intricate tapestry of our lives, the pursuit of happiness, safety, and love is a universal quest. Yet, for many, the journey toward emotional wellness is fraught with challenges beyond their control. Trauma, familial history, and the burdens of life can cast shadows that obscure life's inherent beauty. I believe that each individual deserves to uncover, rediscover, and reclaim life's joy and purpose.
As a compassionate and dedicated psychoanalytical therapist, I aim to guide you through this transformative process with warmth and understanding. Through welcoming and conversational counseling services, I aim to create a space where you can explore the intricate connections between your mind, body, and spirit. This holistic approach seeks to assist you in reconnecting with your higher purpose, allowing you to navigate life unburdened by emotional pain.

Dr. Amanda Roberts
Psychologist, PhD Clinical Psychology, Masters in Marriage Family Therapy
Dr. Roberts’ approach is one of warmth, compassion and respect for the strengths within the person with the firm conviction that effective therapy involves a collaborative partnership informed by the patient’s innate wisdom and resilience. She is passionate about her work and regards it as a divine calling. It is the quality of the therapeutic relationship based on a foundation of trust, safety and a caring connection that provides the most curative element in treatment. She is known for her creativity, passion, fearlessness, easy humor and deep commitment to the welfare of her patients. If you are a patient, your work with her will be solution focused, equip you with tools for living your life more joyfully and freely and will involve a practical problem-solving approach. If you are a consultee she will nurture, support and patiently guide you to become the best clinician that you are capable of becoming.
Dr Roberts is a general aviation private pilot, owns her own aeroplane and is an intrepid adventurer. "Do one thing each day that frightens you" is one of her personal standards. She is no stranger to fear, having been a skydiver, scuba diver, rock climber and the leader of a community disaster team in Massachusetts. Dr Roberts is an avid hiker and creative writer and holds a deep reverence for nature and its beauty. She is a dedicated meditator and fitness enthusiast who regards it as a sacred duty to care diligently for her own health in order to give her best to those she serves.

Compassion Focus Therapy
Jeannette Craigfeld
Psychologist, Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist
I tend to work particularly well with clients who struggle with being compassionate towards themselves and have spent much of their life focused on what others expect of them, getting further away from their own inner voice. My aim is to help clients discover and embrace their authentic selves so they can pursue what they truly value in life. My therapy style is strengths-based, collaborative, and flexible, integrating multiple approaches to therapy. I am excited to get to know you as an individual and figure out what approach to therapy will best fit your unique needs. I know that reaching out for therapy can be a vulnerable experience. I hope you are giving yourself credit for taking this first step.
