Debbie Santana LCSW-R / My Therapist Connection PLLC

As a native New Yorker, I know first-hand how fast paced life can get. We are constantly on the go, often juggling multiple responsibilities and managing hectic schedules. We often forget how important our emotional wellness is and how much impact our mood and feelings can have in our day to day lives. Lack of emotional care can sometimes leave us feeling stressed, on edge, unfulfilled and overwhelmed. If ignored, these things can lead to more serious situations like anxiety, depression and anger. Empowering others to develop a stronger sense of self has always been my passion. My mission is to help my clients down their own path of self-discovery so that they can gain the clarity and awareness needed to create real change in their lives. I help those struggling with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, anger, relational issues, work problems, transitions, communication, and overall life challenges. I use a collaborative, strengths-based approach informed by CBT. Therapy is 100 % focused on increasing your insight, examining your thinking patterns and exploring ways to better manage the things keeping you from achieving the change you desire. We all have the desire to feel happy, enjoy life, be successful and have positive relationships with those near to us. Let's work together to help you get clear on your areas of struggle and explore ways that you can approach the obstacles preventing you from living your best life.

I also offer professional development /consultation services to early career therapists, first time supervisors, managers or those in the helping professions looking to develop skills in supervision of staff, and or launching/ navigating private practice.
