Emily-Rose Santamaria (LCSW)

I am licensed in Connecticut with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients ages 7-60 with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger management, mood disorders, depression, ADD/ADHD, anxiety disorders, attachment and relationships, family conflict, and many more. My therapy style is warm and interactive, and I am a true believer that we are a team working together to meet your goals. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach is eclectic, using ideas primarily from cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, dialectical behavior and attachment-based therapies. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. My perspective is person-centered, strength-based, and solution-focused. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. You are the key to your healing, and taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage, I am proud of you for getting started!
