Dr. Pedro J Rivera Santana

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.
