Centennial, CO 80112
In my practice I view each person as an individual, comprised of a very unique and important history. It is important to me to meet my clients where they are at, utilizing a strength-based perspective. I focus on helping individuals identify their strengths, both intrinsic and external, and help guide them towards utilizing these resources outside of the therapy space. It’s important to me to provide a kind, warm, and judgement free zone for my clients to feel free to share open and honestly in. I also deeply trust in the healing power of nature, and on top of office sessions, I am happy to offer nature-based sessions to my clients.

Dana Santiago
Psychologist, PhD
Centennial, CO 80122
You know that feeling when you finally say no to something — and immediately feel a wave of guilt so strong you almost take it back? Like your needs are always somehow less important than everyone else's. You keep showing up, holding it together, taking care of everyone around you — and quietly wonder when someone is going to show up for you. I specialize in working with people pleasers — and particularly with BIPOC individuals navigating the added weight of cultural expectations, family loyalty, and the pressure to be everything to everyone.

The mind is a meaning making machine and the primary thing people try to make meaning of are their relationships. Understanding that meaning, understanding ones participation in their relationships is the vehicle for changing ones experience. Therapy is a relationship so I try to work with people one or, preferably, more times per week.

Psychoanalytic Therapists
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviors. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.

How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behavior is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.

Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.

Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
