Eileen Santaella has worked with teens and their families in school and outpatient settings. In addition to doing individual therapy and family therapy for the many presenting mental health problems of adolescence, she has experience providing group therapy for teens who have had a traumatic experience, challenges with emotional regulation, need help with distress tolerance, or skills to build effective interpersonal relationships. Eileen believes in the importance of a collaborative approach that includes family and parents, but also wishes to respect the need for a separate space for teens to feel safe and understood. She is able to provide skills and strategies for the teen, as well as how parents or caretakers can be supportive.
