Hi, I’m Dr. Juan Santos Ph.D
I love that you are considering counseling and interested in working with me. Starting counseling can be difficult, which is why I am a strong advocate for shopping around until you find a good fit. Your goals, story, and entire background is unique and because of that, it’s important to take time to find a counselor that is a good fit.
I’m a brown Spanish-speaking male that loves home-cooked meals and being deep in the woods. I was born and raised until the age of about 7 in the Dominican Republic. It’s an island that shares the border with Haiti. My days outside of therapy are filled with spending time with my wife Elizabeth and our two kids Nola and Alex. As a fun fact you may see my kids in the office on the weekends, they are the ones that fill the mini-fridge with water and organize the toys and magazines.
My passion is around helping people live their best. I’m a strong believer in people. I absolutely believe that we can overcome challenges, build healthy habits, learn from our errors, and reach whatever goals we set. Below are areas that I love working with. If you do not see one that pertains to you, please do not hesitate to contact me. I did not want to make this page overwhelming by putting too much information.
My Work As A Mental Health Counselor
I’m thankful to be listed as the top 3 best marriage counselors in Greensboro. Clinically I utilize a blend of strategies with the focus always being on the client’s goals and ambitions. I love writing and have had a few pieces published, they include “Life Without Stress“, “ReBuilding Us: A Guide For Healing Your Relationship” and “Couples Workbook; Making Your Relationship Work“. My work has been featured on local news stations, TV, radio, Huff Post, News 2 WFMY, 102.1 along with providing therapeutic presentations for community agencies and local universities, and Triad Mom On Main Street.
I personally think that it is vital to “get to know your therapist” not only for credentials and education but to create awareness and trust with the person who will be seating across the couch.
