Are you worried that therapy will feel awkward and formal? It doesn’t have to be. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years of experience, I have learned that people are more complicated than a diagnosis, a history, or a list of things that have gone "wrong." Therapy should be a place where you can be honest, curious, and fully yourself. You shouldn't have to worry about saying the 'right thing', or knowing exactly what you want out of the experience.

Dr. Pedro J Rivera Santana

Psychologist

Virtual • Virginia


Many of the young people I work with come to me feeling trapped. It's as if the weight of what they're carrying is too heavy to put into words, and they're not sure anyone will understand. Anxiety and depression can make the world feel impossibly small, and for some, those feelings have led to self-harm or thoughts of suicide. I specialize in working with teens and young people, though I welcome clients of all ages — because feeling stuck doesn't come with an age limit.

Hi hi! I’m Kaitlyn, an LCSW in Virginia specializing in grief therapy and anxiety management.

Providing therapy brings me back to myself, as strange as that sounds. I am fueled by helping others!
