Dr. Santhi’s Approach

Therapy is an active investment in your personal growth and overall well-being. I partner with you to recognize your strengths, celebrate your successes, and identify areas for growth. My goal is to create a trusting, open, and supportive environment where we can explore your past and current life patterns. By fostering self-awareness and emotional well-being, we work together toward achieving a deeper understanding of yourself and greater contentment in your life.

I prioritize discussing systemic challenges, oppression, and external barriers that may impact your growth, and approach our work as collaborative problem-solving, with you as the expert on your own journey. My role is to facilitate the change and progress you seek, not to provide advice or instruction.

Embarking on therapy with Dr. Santhi is a courageous step towards self-care and personal growth.
