Adriana Santiago Acevedo

Hi there, I'm Adriana!

I work with children, teens, and young adults to address mental health concerns and improve their quality of life. I help with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, adjusting to life changes, mood and behavior issues, goal-setting, and social-emotional learning.

My focus

I work with school-aged kids above 8, teens, and young adults seeking guidance for unhelpful thinking patterns, goal-setting, emotional regulation, self-care, life transitions, self-awareness, self-compassion, mental health symptoms, or a safe space. I also address school-related issues and help parents with behavior management.

My approach

I use ACT to improve mindset flexibility, mindfulness, and values-based action. CBT provides structure through psychoeducation, challenging unhelpful thinking, relaxation techniques, and goal-setting. DBT focuses on mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal skills with real-life application.
