Carlos Santell, LCP — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Carlos!

I support adults and older adults with depression, anxiety, grief, caregiver stress, schizophrenia, self‑esteem issues, and life transitions. Spanish‑speaking clients only at this time. Atiendo a adultos con depresión, ansiedad, duelo, estrés del cuidador y transiciones. Solo clientes aceptando casos en español en estos momentos.

My focus

I primarily work with Spanish‑speaking clients. Spanish is my first language, and I provide services in both Spanish and English. If you feel we’re a good fit, I look forward to working with you. Trabajo principalmente con clientes hispanohablantes y brindo servicios en español e inglés. Espero poder trabajar con usted.

My approach

I use an integrative therapeutic approach, choosing techniques from different orientations to fit your specific needs and tailoring our work to what will help you most. Uso un enfoque terapéutico integrativo, adaptando técnicas a sus necesidades para apoyar lo que más le será útil.

My communication style

I provide a safe space to share your concerns. Over time, therapy can help you see situations differently, heal from difficult experiences, and build new skills. Ofrezco un espacio seguro para expresar sus preocupaciones y, con el tiempo, sanar, ver las situaciones de otra manera y desarrollar nuevas habilidades.

My journey to mental healthcare

We’ll work together to define what you want to achieve in therapy. I’ll encourage you to set specific, realistic, and attainable goals to guide our work. Trabajaremos juntos para definir sus objetivos y establecer metas específicas, realistas y alcanzables para orientar el proceso terapéutico.

My goals for you

We will work together to define what you want to accomplish in our time together. I encourage you to identify and establish specific, achievable, and realistic goals to work towards during therapy.

Our first session

In our first session, we’ll build trust, review informed consent, explore main concerns, assess your needs, set therapy goals, and offer hope and support. En nuestra primera sesión, estableceremos confianza, revisaremos el consentimiento, exploraremos sus preocupaciones, evaluaremos necesidades y definiremos metas, brindando apoyo y esperanza.
