My name is Irisdomar Santiago and I'm a bilingual (Spanish/ English) Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I often see clients who are experiencing pain and suffering through different aspects of life. Understanding difficult situations or changes in life can be stressful and definitely you can be accompanied in this process. Please know that you are not alone. Starting a therapeutic process can be the hardest decision, but knowing that probably can be the bravest one. I believe that we all can be able to make changes that can help us grow in understanding, self-compassion, and fulfillment.
My approach
I'm trained in the following treatment approaches: Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Trauma Focused, Cognitive Processing (CPT), Dialectical (DBT), Mindfulness-Based (MBCT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Brief (SFBT), and Strength-Based approach.
My focus
I work with a diverse population: adults, teens, pre-teens, and children (6-10 y/o). I have experience working on diverse issues as ADHD, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem, stress, and parenting issues. I'm bilingual- English and Spanish.
My communication style
I offer a non-judgmental and safe space, compassionate and honest understanding. Sessions will be guided by learning from evidence-based techniques and by working together in your growing process and healing.
