Michelle Santana, LCSW

Welcome to Strong Soul! I am so honored you are here. My name is Michelle Santana, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California I have dedicated nearly half of my life as a social worker serving Orange County communities in non profits, school districts and in community mental health. I earned a Bachelor's and Masters in Social Work becoming a therapist in 2013. Therapy can bring much needed reprieve to years of suffering in silence. As a bicultural woman, I use a variety of theoretical perspectives grounded in culturally informed trauma and attachment theory. My aim as a therapist is to expose roots of pain and offer you an environment of healing. With your commitment to the process, we can discover the resilient power within that pushes you towards better choices, relationships and a strong soul! Life coaching offers a strength based empowerment approach to life's challenges. I use my clinical skills to empower you to reach solutions right from your own experiences. Our partnership can design a program tailored fit to your needs in: modern dating difficulties, academic/Job transitions, spiritual/religious issues, relational distress or just overall life "stuckness." I offer BBS approved professional consultation and supervision for masters level and licensed professionals in clinical social work, professional counseling and marriage and family therapy in the state of California. Reach out for a free phone or zoom consultation today! For expedited response for new client inquiries, please email: michellesantanalcsw@gmail.com. My office hours are M-W from 4pm-8pm. I look forward to meeting your Strong Soul! -Michelle
