Under Clinical Supervision

Dr. Megan Santiago, Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern, IMH24603 is practicing under the supervision of Mario Morano (Florida, LMHC, MH16457) at Excelsis Behavioral Health.

Please, note: A clinician listed as being “clinically supervised” is completing clinical hours toward their licensure. They have one or more fully licensed clinical supervisors that often have special training. They consult with their supervisor(s) on all of their cases.

What would be important for someone to know about working with you?

I push you and I help you find solutions. I am not just a head nodding therapist, it is just not my style. I meet my clients where they are at and do my best to create individualized treatment plans to help them reach their goals. If you like homework, then I'm your therapist. If you do not, that is totally okay too!

In what ways does your personality influence your approach to therapy?

I like to make therapy laid back and more like a comfortable relationship. I'm not here to judge, we do that to ourselves enough already. I'm here to support you no matter what your therapy needs.

What does success look like in therapy? How will a client know that they are making progress?

I consistently check in with my patients to ensure that we are working towards their goals at a pace they are comfortable with. A client knows they are making progress by the ongoing check ins, and overall improved confidence in themselves.
