Meet
Satina
Welcome, I’m Satina (she/her/hers). Please know you’re not alone in experiencing life’s challenges, so go easy on yourself. The reality of human nature is that we all, individually and collectively, go through seasons of suffering, joy and all the in-between. Our human instinct is to survive, we are incredible! Together, let's navigate life's challenges by nurturing ourselves, embracing our true selves, adapting to our circumstances, honoring the natural world, and supporting one another.
Philosophy
Creating a therapeutic environment hinges on establishing safety, trust, and mutual goals. These elements form the foundation for your growth, healing, and transformation. Complementing this foundation are our respective roles: yours as the client and mine as the therapist. If you are transparent, motivated, dedicated, and active towards your goals both inside the therapy space and in your world, you will see progress. My role isn't about solving your problems or rescuing you; rather, it's to facilitate your journey to self-discovery, offering attention, empathy, reflection, perspective, education, practice opportunities, suggestions, resources, and guidance to support you in achieving your goals.
Modalities
I have advanced training in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy. I am also well practiced in Attachment theory, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Style
Up front, I am welcoming, respectful, humanistic and empowering seasoned with a clinical lens, psychoeducation, and skills coaching. Overall, my goal is to be authentic and provide you quality care within a safe space where you can freely express yourself, heal, learn, and evolve.
Interests
Personally and professionally, I follow my authentic interests in the areas of Jungian and evolutionary psychology, dream analysis, sexuality, meditation, women's liberation, kundalini yoga, as well as embodiment and spiritual practices.
Experience
I have been in the field of human services since 2007 and practicing as a psychotherapist since 2013
Honoring My Own Healers
I am deeply grateful to my inner healer and to all, seen or unseen, human, creature, or other, who have been supporting me in my journey of healing and growth. I am especially thankful for my Mom, the love my parents had for one another, and my husband.
