Sue De Santo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Have you ever felt like you were busy doing all the things you thought would bring you a happy life, yet felt alone and disconnected from yourself and others? These feelings are often when people turn to alcohol, drugs, food, shopping or relationships to try to create those feelings of happiness, contentment and joy. It can work for a short time however the key to moving forward is to understand the reasons we seek out these distractions. When we strengthen the relationship with ourselves, the outer world becomes much more balanced and fulfilling. In our work together, you’ll gain tools to care for your nervous system, set healthier boundaries, and create a more positive and sustainable way of living.

Jessica Dominguez
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Therapy can help us find the path that will help us feel more confident, capable, and rooted in ourselves; help us learn to manage life's challenges, and connect us to our resilience and strengths in a way that honor our values, culture, and highlights that we have all we need to heal and grow. Life can be extremely difficult, and at some point, we all need support in helping navigate it. I actively center culture in my life and therapeutic work, and believe that connecting to our culture can promote healing, growth, self-acceptance, help us shed internalized oppressive views, as well as foster self-awareness and a deeper connection to our more authentic selves. I'm passionate about social justice and working with BIPOC women & Latine communities. Se habla espanol.
