Santo Psychotherapy in Chelsea, NYC - LCSW

Good Faith Estimate is an approximation of costs you may incur during a specific window of time for specific services. This estimation can be renewed annually. You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit http://www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059. You may also visit our website for a brief summary of the Good Faith Estimate.

Our approach to psychotherapy is geared toward understanding your developmental and relational experiences. The time you spend with your therapist will have an exploratory focus on discussions around understanding and processing past experiences and how they may be affecting your lived experiences presently. Our goal is to help you live your life as your most authentic self with compassion while cultivating deep and meaningful relationships and life experiences.

At my practice, psychodynamic psychotherapy focuses on understanding past experiences throughout your development and how those experiences may influence you now. Our past relational experiences shape the way we perceive the world, other people, and ourselves in the world. The process of psychodynamic therapy allows for a space to safely explore your past experiences and to begin to heal from past distressing events or traumas. Through this process you can also learn to communicate their feelings better, gain greater confidence, find ways to create deeper and meaningful relationships with others and more depending on your desired goals.

Affirmative therapy is an approach to psychotherapy that embraces, validates and advocates for the needs of LGBTQIA+ people. Mental health providers taking this approach may mitigate effects of shame and rejection while allowing an LGBTQIA+ person to bring all aspects of self into the therapy room without fear.
