Dr. Kelly Santandrea
Licensed Psychologist
I am a licensed clinical psychologist originally from Johannesburg, South Africa. I have had the privilege of traveling around the world which allowed me to learn and appreciate a variety of cultures, beliefs, and values. This is the foundation I work from! I earned my undergraduate and honors degree program in South Africa and completed my Masters (M.S.) and Doctorate (Psy.D.) degrees in Clinical Psychology at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
I believe everyone is unique and therefore pride myself in utilizing a strength-based, person-centered approach. I am devoted to helping others empower themselves and live a fulfilling life. Incorporating a variety of approaches to treating difficulties makes my treatment focus unique and flexible. Treatment modalities may include dialectical behavioral therapy skills, family systems therapy, play therapy, CBT, and behavioral therapy.
Some services offered include but are not limited to treating individuals and families experiencing post-traumatic stress, high-family conflict, divorce, reunification therapy, mood disorders, anxiety, and behavioral concerns. I also offer comprehensive psychological evaluations, psycho-educational evaluations (ADHD, learning disorders, etc.), and court-ordered evaluations.
