I'm Chantelle Santos, a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and mood disorders, helping them build resilience and reconnect with their sense of self-worth.
My approach centers on creating a compassionate, affirming space where you feel truly heard and valued. I specialize in addressing communication difficulties, attachment concerns, isolation, and body image struggles. I'm also experienced in supporting clients through major life transitions, including divorce and separation, as well as the unique stress that comes with caregiving responsibilities.
I draw on evidence-based therapeutic practices to help you process difficult emotions, strengthen your relationships, and cultivate greater self-love and acceptance. Whether you're working through grief, managing mood challenges, or seeking to build healthier connections with yourself and others, I'm here to walk alongside you with genuine care and respect.
Starting therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to support you on your healing journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
