Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In the intricate tapestry of our lives, the pursuit of happiness, safety, and love is a universal quest. Yet, for many, the journey toward emotional wellness is fraught with challenges beyond their control. Trauma, familial history, and the burdens of life can cast shadows that obscure life's inherent beauty. I believe that each individual deserves to uncover, rediscover, and reclaim life's joy and purpose.
As a compassionate and dedicated psychoanalytical therapist, I aim to guide you through this transformative process with warmth and understanding. Through welcoming and conversational counseling services, I aim to create a space where you can explore the intricate connections between your mind, body, and spirit. This holistic approach seeks to assist you in reconnecting with your higher purpose, allowing you to navigate life unburdened by emotional pain.

Elka Cubacub
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hi there, and congratulations on taking the first step toward reaching out for help. Finding the right therapist can be hard, but I’ve learned it often comes down to two things: personality and treatment approach. I'll describe what these are for me in an effort to help clarify whether I might be the therapist for you. By nature, I’m calm, compassionate, and intellectually-driven. I like to understand what we do and why, and bring this intentionality to my work as a therapist. I’ve worked across higher levels of care with people navigating eating disorders, substance use, depression, anxiety, and psychosis. I feel humbled by the stories that are shared with me and promise not to judge. In my experience, talking alone isn’t always enough, so I use evidence-based, embodied approaches that help you access what’s beneath the surface and shift what keeps you stuck. My goal is to help you reconnect with the full range of human emotions so you can feel more fully alive and move toward what’s meaningful to you.
