Out of Network Therapists in Hartford, CT

About Dr. Santos: I have been in practice in Connecticut for over 30 years. I have worked in out-patient and in-patient settings, a college counseling center and with a number of employee assistance programs. I have a breath of knowledge that is quite diverse, covering the full spectrum of mental health issues. My commitment is to provide a highly professional, confidential service in an environment that is safe and promotes personal growth and healing for any number of emotional and other mental health difficulties. I am bilingual-bicultural in Spanish and English. I see individuals, couples and families.

We're currently taking clients for diagnostic evaluations, couples, & group therapy.

My comprehensive evaluation will identify specific reasons why your child is struggling, provide tailored recommendations, identify appropriate accommodations, address school and college placement issues, and illuminate targets for treatment.

Life will be difficult at times and we do well to walk it together. Proverbs says, "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." What I offer is simply this; to walk with you - and/or your child - through whatever you're facing and help you see it through God's eyes as revealed in scripture. To clarify with proper perspective what has happened and what is happening now is helpful. What even better is knowing what we have to look forward to. "Gospel" means good news and I guarantee that there is great news for you. There's an abundant life promised to you by God Himself. If you want to be well, we should talk.
