Peter Santos

Peter Santos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 13 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. He offers therapy in both English and Spanish and brings a steady, respectful presence to work focused on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.

His counseling style centers on empathy, trust, and clear communication, with a strong belief that progress is built through a genuine therapeutic relationship where clients feel heard and understood. Peter draws from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another, as well as existential and mindfulness-based work to help clients navigate uncertainty, meaning, and day-to-day overwhelm. He also integrates motivational interviewing to support change in a way that feels realistic and personally meaningful.

Peter has experience across clinical, school, and community settings, and he works with concerns including attachment issues, communication problems, codependency, body image, eating and food-related issues, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, men’s issues, midlife transitions, and divorce or separation. His goal is to meet clients where they are and collaborate on practical, values-based steps toward greater clarity, resilience, and well-being.
