Brenda Santillan, MA, understands that sometimes life becomes overwhelmingly heavy, and the desire to unload those burdens can be daunting. Many individuals experience fear and uncertainty about confiding in a stranger: Will they truly understand? Are their concerns valid enough? What if the therapeutic relationship isn't a good fit? Brenda aims to address these common concerns by creating a nurturing and supportive environment that encourages clients to share their unique stories, adventures, and paths to personal growth. She specializes in providing care for individuals navigating symptoms of depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and challenging experiences, such as sexual assault, postpartum depression, and attachment issues. Utilizing a variety of therapeutic approaches—including culturally sensitive methods, play therapy, and trauma-focused techniques—Brenda fosters a safe space filled with genuine warmth, humor, and unconditional positive regard. With her compassionate approach, clients can gain the encouragement needed to reach out and begin their healing journey. The first 15 minutes of a phone consultation are complimentary, allowing potential clients to explore their options without pressure.
