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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

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.
