My name is Christopher Santini and I am an LCSW in the state of Florida. As a clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience, I have had the privilege of working with culturally, economically, and ethnically diverse individuals, families, couples, and groups from all walks of life. I have practiced domestically and internationally including, NYC, California, and most recently in Dublin, Ireland. I have found using teletherapy to be very convenient for clients with challenging schedules. Taking the step to enter into therapy can be a difficult but rewarding one.
My specialties include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and bereavement, with populations including Individual, child/adolescent, couples counseling, and marital/family conflict, as well as unique training and insight into issues affecting the LGBTQ+ community.
I feel that building a positive rapport and nonjudgmental therapeutic alliance with my clients is the key to processing important underlying emotional challenges and conflicts in order to effect meaningful change.

My ideal clients are individuals, couples, and families who are navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, or questions of identity.
