Kathleen Santini

I started out in Community Mental Health in a poor neighborhood in Tacoma, WA, working with older adults, and went on to work with all adult ages in healthcare settings. My approach is a "systems approach": I see you as part of your formal and informal networks, with your own medical, emotional, financial, and spiritual needs. I offer a brief, solution-focused, problem-solving approach to help you move forward. I would love to help you get there, so reach out and let's get started.​

I begin with a good biopsychosocial assessment (medical, psychological and social situaiton,) and then work to determine a client's goals and preferences in how they would like to work with me.

In our first session together, I will work efficiently to understand your needs and goals, and how we can best work together. I begin with what matters most to you: your biopsychosocial situation and your family and community circumstances, in a solution focused, supportive way. You will leave feeling heard, with a clear, practical plan for what comes next, and a good sense of how we will work together going forward.
