Lucia Santos

Hello, I'm Lucia (she/her)

Deciding to seek therapy and wondering if we’ll be a good match can feel challenging. To make it easier, here’s a bit about me and my approach. I’m warm, empathetic, honest, inclusive and open-minded. I am committed to providing a compassionate space where you feel genuinely heard and understood.

I see therapy as a collaborative journey where together we can sit with all that you bring to our sessions, and create a space for you to ponder, to express, to be in the not knowing and to perhaps find new ways to hold yourself through life in a way that feels more connected and aligned with who you are.

We’ll work at your own pace to gently explore what you’d like to focus on—even if the reasons for coming to therapy aren’t yet clear. My aim is to empower you to make meaningful changes on your own terms, helping you build the life you envision.

As an integrative therapist, I adapt my approach to best suit your individual needs, whether that means exploring past experiences to understand and shift present patterns, or focusing on what’s unfolding in your life right now.

Sessions are confidential, held weekly, and last 50 minutes. At this time, I’m working exclusively online to offer flexibility and accessibility.

If you’re a student or navigating a lower income, feel free to get in touch—I may be able to offer a reduced-fee session to support you

I work with individuals over 16 years old.

I have experience supporting clients across diverse experiences and identities, including gender diversity, sexuality, disability, religion and race. My goal is to create a space where every aspect of who you are is respected, valued, and genuinely supported.

The first therapy session can sometimes feel a bit daunting, so to help ease any apprehensions, I’ll send you a Client Registration Form prior to our meeting. In our initial session, we’ll review this form together, and I may ask questions to better understand your responses. We will explore your reasons for starting therapy at whatever depth feels comfortable for you and there may be some paperwork to complete. Please feel free to bring up any questions or concerns you may have—I’m here to support you fully from the start.
