My name is Marybeth Santoro. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Georgia. I have experience working with teens, adults, and geriatric patients. I have helped many clients work through depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and relationship conflicts. I have over 12 years of counseling experience. I received my Master’s Degree from Argosy University and my training from Emory Hospital in Decatur. I take great care to tailor my treatment approach to the unique goals of each client. In general, I strive to help clients both understand the underlying causes of their difficulties while simultaneously developing the skills needed for more immediate relief. I strive to include parents and caregivers as part of the treatment process. My goal is to foster a collaborative environment to explore areas of your life where you may feel challenged, anxious and/or stuck, and to create new understandings that lead to curiosity, self-awareness, and self-compassion. Through this exploration we will identify old patterns of behavior and beliefs that have been limiting you and begin to move forward in your life. Outside of the office, I enjoy attempting to craft, traveling with my boyfriend, and spending time with our dog Eloise a two-year-old sheepdog. She is teaching me patience while she destroys our furniture. I am the proud Aunt of two nieces and three nephews. I believe family is everything. I look forward to worthing with you. “Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know.”

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help us create a plan and goals to work towards in future sessions.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I believe in a mixed therapeutic approach, depending on the client's needs.
