Dr. Susan Santiago-Turner is a compassionate and experienced counselor, holding credentials as a PhD, LMHC, LPC, and BC-TMH. With over 20 years of specialized counseling experience, she brings a unique perspective as both a primary and long-distance caregiver. Dr. Santiago-Turner is dedicated to validating and empowering clients who serve as caregivers for family members with chronic or terminal illnesses, often without adequate support to maintain their mental health. She focuses particularly on middle-aged women navigating the transition into their roles as primary caregivers—an often challenging shift, especially for those with a history of unreported sibling physical and sexual abuse. Her therapeutic approach is firmly rooted in strengths-based practices, integrating feminist, dialectical, and cognitive-behavioral therapies. By building upon clients' existing strengths, Dr. Santiago-Turner assists them in navigating complex feelings of ambivalence, allowing them to live authentically. Together, clients explore difficult choices regarding caregiving and past experiences of trauma, working towards establishing healthy boundaries in their relationships. With her guidance, clients can embark on the path that aligns best with their interests and well-being, ensuring that they flourish in their roles while caring for others.
