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.

Psychologist, Ph.D.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and my goal is to make that step feel safe, supportive, and worthwhile. I’m a clinical psychologist who believes the best progress happens when therapy feels like a productive relationship—built on trust, openness, and collaboration.
