Alli Santa, LPC — Therapist in Oregon

Hi there, I'm Alli!

I practice from a place of empathy and genuine understanding. I am very client focused and I use different therapy methods to help each client with their individual needs. My goal is to develop a trusting clinical relationship which will help the client respond greatly to treatment goals.

My focus

Most of my experience has included working with High School students and adults. I specialize in Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, PTSD, Grief/Loss, Suicidal Ideation/Self Harm/Self Esteem, Domestic Abuse, Divorce and LGBTQIA2S+.

My approach

I facilitate a judgement free and safe environment where I encourage clients to express their frustrations and concerns as well as help them gain knowledge and insight to inspire healthy beliefs and attitudes towards the difficult circumstance's life throws their way.

My communication style

I prioritize clear and open communication in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment. My first priority is always my client, their safety, wellbeing and happiness.

My journey to mental healthcare

My clinical education and training began in 2003 in the communicative disorders department at CSUH. I graduated with a B.S. After working in various school settings, I returned to graduate school. I completed my practicum/ pre internship in private practice and school settings and obtained an M.A in Counseling/Clinical Mental Health.

My goals for you

I work with every client to help them successfully achieve their goals. I work with each client, looking at any difficulties they are having, how it's affecting them, the symptoms they are experiencing and the best treatment options.

Our first session

The first session is the opportunity for us to get to know each other, start building a trust together, discuss what brings you to therapy and obtain a little background and current information that is relevant in helping me to become aware of who you are as an individual and how I can best help you.
