About

Hi there, I'm Brandon! Dr. Brandon Santan is a licensed professional counselor and Ph.D. level therapist who considers himself a general mental health and relationship therapist. Dr. Santan specializes in anxiety issues, such as generalized anxiety, OCD, and phobias. Dr. Santan also specializes in addictions and relationship distress. My approach Dr. Santan has a holistic and person-centered approach to counseling that relies on the CBT family of therapeutic modalities during treatment. My focus Dr. Santan works with adults ages 21 and older and specializes in the treatments of anxiety disorders (e.g., generalized anxiety, OCD, phobias), relationship dysfunction, and addictions. My communication style Dr. Santan creates a relaxed, warm, inviting, and safe atmosphere for therapeutic healing and has a friendly and interpersonal style of counseling that is accepting, understanding, and non-judgmental. My journey to therapy I think the brain is an amazing organ and through my own mental health healing I grew passionate about learning how the brain works as well as helping others. I live to share the knowledge I've acquired over the years and I live to help patients heal and thrive. My goals for you Dr. Santan has a collaborative approach to goal setting. Patients will set general goals for therapy and Dr. Santan will help patients refine and prioritize goals during the therapy process. My first session with you The first session typically includes rapport building, question and answer, information gathering, and history presentation. As time permits the first session can include goal setting and treatment planning efforts.
