Hi. I'm Santa Dastidar. As a therapist for the last decade, I have had the opportunity to work with a diverse group of people of all ages; my training and clinical specialties include complex trauma, depression, anxiety, high-functioning autism, ADHD, self-esteem issues, and stress related to different life transitions.
Each therapeutic relationship is unique and my goal is to provide individualized treatment and help individuals work towards their chosen goals to live a healthy and meaningful life. I create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings.
Self-care is very crucial for me since I juggle multiple roles (mom, wife, daughter, sister, friend etc.). I believe that you can’t give others what you don’t have. Social connections, gardening, hiking, and exercise are some brain boosters that help me to recharge, stay focused, reduce stress, and improve emotional balance. This is also something I advocate for when working with my clientele because your health is invaluable and taking time out for yourself is the best gift you can give to yourself and your loved ones.
Beginning therapy can be difficult but it can lead to developing important insights, personal growth, challenging negative emotions or thought patterns, and much more. Let’s work on becoming the best version of you!
