Vanessa Santana-Garcia, AMFT

Associate Marriage and family therapist

Hello, it is my honor and priviledge to work with individuals and families on their journey to develop themselves fully, create more secure relationships and overcome difficult life challenges. I hope to assist you in building the inner strength needed to reach your full potential.

My approach to treatment is relational with an emphasis on being person-centered utilizing attachment theory, psychodynamic, and CBT to facilitate the therapeutic process. I have a particular interest in working with individuals struggling with high anxiety, attachment wounds, struggles with family dynamics, and working through difficult life transitions. I also have specialized training in maternal mental health which has allowed me to help mothers who are struggles into their new transition within motherhood. Part of that work may look like supporting mothers and their families through postpartum depression or anxiety.

In my free time, I enjoy a good coffee shop, spending time with family, traveling and baking.
