Meet Fatima Santana, LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families across a variety of clinical, educational, and community-based settings. As a bilingual therapist (English and Spanish), I am committed to providing culturally responsive care that honors each individual's unique background, values, and lived experiences.

I specialize in working with children and families and have extensive experience supporting school-age children, adolescents, adults, parents, and caregivers. My clinical approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and tailored to each person's developmental needs, strengths, and goals.

I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and incorporate these evidence-based approaches when clinically appropriate. I also utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Behavioral Activation to help individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, and other emotional challenges develop practical skills, improve daily functioning, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Beyond providing therapy, I am deeply passionate about mentoring the next generation of clinicians. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of supervising graduate interns and training emerging mental health professionals. I believe that quality mental health care begins with well-trained, ethical, and compassionate clinicians, and I am committed to fostering professional growth through clinical supervision, consultation, and education.

Whether you are seeking therapy for yourself or your family, or you are a clinician looking to strengthen your clinical skills, my goal is to provide a supportive, collaborative, and evidence-based experience that promotes confidence, healing, and lasting growth.
