"Change" is an inevitable part of life! Although it can result in new and exciting opportunities unfortunately, it can often create painful and unmanageable symptoms when we consider the "losses", transition and possible grief associated with it. Loss of relationships, marriage, family, loved ones, jobs, health, confidence, etc., can easily translate into anxiety, depression, confusion and doubt.

The most therapeutic element in psychotherapy is the relationship between us. You invite me into your interior self which is a special, even sacred, place hiring me as a guide during this phase of your life's journey. Ultimately, our goal is to do things better by initiating new ways of being or putting aside some of the old. Therapy is not escape; it is not blame. It is about better facing the challenges of life, helping ourselves find our way through where we now are, and sometimes it's also about finding our way back to ourselves.

I contribute to the disruption of the idea that our people are “broken” and in need of being “fixed.” Many of you have spent your life tending to your own emotional and physical needs the best way that you know how, and I believe I can be a supportive guide to deepen that journey.

My services focus on working with managing transitions and life traumas. Normal ability to cope with certain events may not be enough. You might experience immediate symptoms which take the form of shock and denial, while longer term disturbances can take the form of irregular moods, intense guilt, depression, anxiety, flashbacks and difficulty with interpersonal relationships. While having feelings about a traumatic event are normal, some people become "stuck" and have difficulty working through their emotions.

Much of my work is done with clients who are looking to grow from the many unfortunate events that have happened in their lives. I do believe that traumatic situations can destroy a person if they remain a victim. But if they are willing to do the hard work of turning that pain into power, then their situation didn't occur in vain. That is why I am both analytical and an action oriented and caring therapist.

Dr. Joseph Santiago, LMHC, PsyD-MFT has over 20 years of clinical experience. He has assisted countless clients with a diversity of issues and concerns on their road to recovery, including anger, addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma, men's issues and spirituality. I strongly believe that the most important characteristics a therapist can possess are being emotionally and spiritually available and present, being willing to bear witness to the pain of the client, having the tools to "assist" the client on their journey, and understanding that everyone's road to recovery can look different.
