SamUEL De Los Santos, INTERN

My name is Samuel De Los Santos and I am a counselor-in-training with a passion for working alongside adolescents, military service members, and first responders. I bring over 6,700 hours of experience in residential treatment settings that includes work with substance use recovery and navigating complex life experiences. These experiences have shaped my belief that meaningful change happens within a safe, collaborative therapeutic relationship where clients feel truly seen, heard, and respected. My approach is grounded, relational, and intentional, with a focus on building trust and clarity throughout the counseling process. 

I recognize that beginning counseling can feel difficult or uncertain, yet I believe it is one of the most valuable investments a person can make, not only for themselves but for those around them. I approach each client with the belief that everyone has the right to feel better, to grow, and to move toward wholeness. 

I primarily work from a Gestalt framework; emphasizing present-moment awareness, personal responsibility, and growth through authentic connection. I strive to create a counseling environment that feels both supportive and structured, where clients are met with empathy while also being gently challenged when appropriate to move toward their potential. I view counseling as a partnership, in which we work together to understand patterns, develop insight, and foster lasting change at a pace that feels both safe and meaningful. 

Christian integration is available upon request and is incorporated thoughtfully and respectfully in alignment with each client’s values and preferences.
