Mari Santos
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, originally from Los Angeles, California. I received my Masters in Social Work from Simmons University, I have been practicing as a therapist for 6 years. However, I have been in the mental health field for over 9 years.
I tailor my therapeutic approach with evidence based modalities while integrating your needs, goals, lived experiences, core values and environment.
I am passionate about my work as a therapist and my approach is to build a safe space tailored to your needs while holding you accountable in your own journey.
First session
During our first session, we'll gather insights on your current struggles and experiences. We will also have an opportunity to get to know each other and establish your intentions for your growth.
Strengths
I tailor my therapeutic approach with evidence based modalities while integrating your needs, goals, lived experiences, core values and environment. My goal is to ensure that therapy feels relevant, respectful, and empowering.
Ideal clients
I love working with clients that are ready to commit to themselves by starting their healing journeys and willingness to leave their space of comfort. My ideal clients are those who recognize that growth requires effort and are willing to explore the deeper roots of their challenges.
Treatment methods
Psychoeducation
It is imperative that people understand what is affecting them and impeding their journeys. I utilize psychoeducation to increase self-awareness, practice problem solving skills and increase their knowledge on their symptoms.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Often times we focus on things, relationships and situations that we cannot control and often times this leads us with shame, despair and hopelessness. Through our sessions, I will assist you to navigate these conflicts in order for you to accept without letting go of these relationships or situations.
