Meire Santos, LMFT, Psy.D

Introduction: I am multicultural and very knowledgeable on dealing with diversity issues in families, couples and companies. Originally, from Brazil, I already had a Masters Degree in Developmental Psychology when I immigrated to the United States in 1998. Therefore, my whole family today is composed of smart, beautiful and loving people from different cultural backgrounds. Learning to bring all these differences to the table in a respectful, inclusive, and also consensual manner has prepared me to my professional career and expertise. I am deeply thankful for this richness in my personal and professional experiences. When graduating from my second Masters Degree in Transpersonal Psychology in the USA, at John F. Kennedy University, I was asked why I've chosen to be a psychotherapist, my answers applies to this question: what I like most about my job is that I am personally and professionally committed to constantly challenge my way of being and functioning in the world. I feel like I am growing and becoming younger as years pass by.
