Karen Santos

I am credentialed in Australia as a Psychotherapist and Social Worker. I am committed to supporting both adults, adolescents and children through their most challenging times. Whether you are dealing with trauma, stress, depression, anxiety, parenting struggles, life adjustments, or grief and loss, I am here to help.

Ongoing experience in delivery of evidence-based trauma and mental health counselling and recent community mental health case management has further enhanced my ability to understand, empower and work alongside you to support positive mental health through what is most meaningful for you.

My specialized trainings are as follows: Neurobiology of Trauma/Developmental Trauma, Synergetic Play Therapy (SPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). At present, I am strengthening my competencies in the delivery of Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT). This diverse skill set has allowed me to work effectively with individuals as well as dyads such as parent and child.

I look forward to walking alongside you, fostering a safe space for self-reconnection . Together, we will stay curious and uncover your specific needs. Your well-being is my top priority, and I am here to ensure you feel valued and supported throughout our journey.
