Gina Santos
Registered Social Worker Psychotherapist
Hi there, I’m Gina, a Registered Social Worker Psychotherapist with over 23 years of experience helping individuals and couples find peace within themselves and their relationships. If you’re feeling stuck in patterns that leave you feeling disconnected and emotionally paralyzed, or if you find yourself repeatedly caught in the same arguments, know that there is a way forward.
Professional Background: I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work and have dedicated my career to working with families, couples, and individuals. My extensive experience includes assisting those who have endured traumatic life events affecting their current happiness, as well as couples struggling to reconnect and break free from damaging behavioral cycles.
Therapeutic Approach: My holistic approach to therapy begins with understanding you as an individual—your experiences, your challenges, and your goals. I employ various therapeutic modalities including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Somatic work to tailor a treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.
Core Philosophy: My primary goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you can freely explore your thoughts and emotions and begin moving towards your desired outcomes. Therapy is a journey of discovery, and I am here to guide you through each step, helping you to regain control and find joy in your life once again.
Client Focus: I work with individuals and couples aged 18 and up, addressing issues such as trauma, anxiety, depression, infidelity, and parenting challenges.
More Than Just Work: One of my greatest joys is catching a sunset, which brings immense peace and calm to my soul. Even the thought of a sunset can be soothing.
Let’s Connect: If you’re ready to start feeling better, have happier relationships, and gain more control over your life, I’m here to help. Book an appointment today, and let’s take the first step towards healing together.
