Serving Black / African American

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.

Austin, Texas therapist: Christina Fay, Psy.D., psychologist
Serving Black / African American

Christina Fay, Psy.D.

Psychologist, Psy.D.
I enjoy getting to know people and learn about their life. Learning about where someone comes from, what they have been through, and their intersecting identities can help build a stronger foundation for understanding and trust which are essential for the therapeutic process. I am naturally inquisitive and I use this in sessions to ensure we have a plan that focuses on the core issues and goals that are important to the patient. I love to learn and find little ways to apply that knowledge in everyday life and I enjoy taking this approach in session: to focus on small steps that can be learned and implemented over time to learn more about oneself in efforts to lead a life you love.
