Dana Santiago, PhD

Hi, Iā€™m Dr. Dana Santiago (she/her), a Licensed Psychologist providing psychotherapy services for adults in Colorado and a PSYPACT therapist providing virtual services. I help people who want to learn more about themselves and their relationships. I often work with people who are experiencing anxiety, relational and emotional difficulties, low self confidence, adjustment issues, and cultural concerns. I specialize in working with BIPOC Anxiety (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) and people pleasing behaviors. I use principles of Relational Psychodynamic therapy to help clients work through past and current difficulties by offering my observations, curiosity and presence. I listen carefully and read between the lines uncovering what might be going on underneath the surface.
