Hello all,
My name is Gina Santos, LMHC, ATR-P. I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist and I majored in Art Therapy in graduate school . I have worked in the mental health field for over three years, and my expertise are related to working with individuals or couples that have a range of symptoms including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and others. I love working with art and different modalities.
My therapeutic style is Cognitive Behavior Therapy and I believe in the power of positivity. I have experience working with families in low income areas and help finding
resources. Also, I work with people on the Spectrum and their families. I completed my internship at Chapel Haven, in New Haven, Connecticut. I have experience working with teenagers and young adults on the Spectrum.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Gina has been great. It’s nice to talk to someone who seems to really care. So glad I tried again to find a therapist that gets me again
Gina is great at listening and providing suggestions for the stress I'm dealing with. She helped me to re-engage with the coping mechanisms I have and really validated my feelings. My month with her was exactly what I needed.
