Dr. Theresa Desantis

Welcome!

Mental well-being is a top priority because it is the key that opens the door to a happy, healthy, and stable life. Life can be full of unpredictable circumstances and events that leave us feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, stressed, anxious, or depressed. Experiencing one, or all, of these starts to negatively impact critical areas such as sleep, work, self-motivation, personal relationships, or lead us to start engage in unhealthy outlets. It also makes us feel all alone and emotionally trapped. Reaching out for help can initially feel uneasy and it is a difficult task, but be proud of yourself that you are taking that first step! I have over 20 years of clinical experience working with clients aged 13 to 75 with a main focus on working for you, your needs, and how to achieve your goals to live a happy, healthy, and stable life. Specialty areas include anxiety disorders, depression, mood disorders, Acute and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, relationships, couples/marital counseling, sexual issues, employees of law enforcement agencies, and forensic based testing.

Everyone is unique and their life’s experiences, stories, and goals differ. My clients can expect an individualized approach that is free from judgment or bias and to feel respected in our working relationship. What goals you want to achieve are my priority. I am an active listener who will also challenge you to promote growth, and provide support along your journey to achieve your goals.

You will receive a warm and supportive welcome introduction and be provided with a safe and secure environment to share what led you to seek help, tell your story, and what you hope to achieve from therapy. You can expect me to ask clarification questions if needed so that I can gain a better understanding of you as a person, and your needs.
