Andrea Santa Maria
Licensed Mental Health Counselor -
I help women and girls unlock their true potential in therapy by providing a space that is filled with empathy, authenticity, and inspiration. My holistic approach to therapy is hands-on and client-centered, as each woman’s story is unique. I believe that one of the first and most powerful steps in therapy is simply developing an innate sense of self awareness around your thoughts, emotions, and story while learning to make meaning from past experiences. Providing a relatable and modern approach to therapy is one of my main goals as I help you learn to break free from negative patterns that keep getting you stuck.I enjoy working with women and girls who are experiencing issues such as trauma, eating disorders, relationship struggles, self-esteem, grief and loss, anxiety, motherhood, depression, suicidal thoughts, stress, familial conflict, and navigating life transitions while developing a unique set of coping skills to fit you.Beginning therapy and sharing your story can feel like such a vulnerable experience. I would love to do a phone consultation or engage via e-mail to answer any questions you may have and make sure that we’re a good fit! “Vulnerability is the birthplace of creativity and change.” – Brene Brown
