Marcella Santamaria, Licensed Clinical Therapist

"I began individual therapy with Marcella about 3 years ago, and when the opportunity arose to expand to a family therapy situation, she eased my family member and I into joint sessions with great sensitivity, making sure each of us felt comfortable. Marcella is skilled listener who has used her education, experience, and calm genial manner to both enlighten and be encouraging to me over the years. Currently, she is helping me and my family member to identify and prioritize our concerns -- without judgement-- and is focused on guiding us to a place of better mutual understanding. I am feeling very hopeful these days, and am grateful to Marcella for the skill and warmth she brings to her profession."

"I have known Marcella Santamaria since the end of 2019 and been in continuous therapy for the past 4 years. As an older woman with a trauma based past stemming from childhood I've had to revisit my struggles with alcohol and substance use addictions to emotional disengagement with myself and my surroundings. Marcella has a clinical approach to therapy which is both professional and at the same time personable enough to feel the trust and open heartedness it takes to feel safe. She keeps you accountable and yet allows for you to find your way by self discovery thru your thinking and your behaviors . In a very environment that creates doubt and fear due to this culture we live in which sabotages some of our basic needs and ways to heal I have found a more sustained pattern of behavior that favors growth and peacefulness. I will continue to participate in this therapy with Marcella Santamaria until I am able to trust myself to continue with a lifelong recovery program centered on balance and wholeness. She has been an integral part of my re recovery in my own life. I am 69 yrs. old and still learning. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking a safe place to speak openly, honestly and without fear who genuinely wants to grow into a healthy adult no matter which stage of life you are in."

"Marcella Santamaria is an amazing therapist. She understands my situation and is very supportive. I’m happy to have found a relatable therapist."

"We took our daughter to see Marcella Santamaria to learn how to deal with her anxiety issues. Marcella is an incompetent social worker. She was totally clueless on how to deal with anxiety. She was also very unprofessional as she made diagnosis and recommendations based on no facts. I can't recommend her services to anyone. It is like she has never been trained to be a therapist. Her services were of great negative value! Stay ware from her or you will be greatly disappointed!"
