Marriage | Relationship | Individual Therapy

Welcome! My name is Pinnellopii Santoro, I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and I provide therapy services via Telehealth to couples and individuals located anywhere in California

I work with couples navigating communication challenges, conflict, infidelity, and life transitions. I also support individuals seeking greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and personal growth.

ABOUT

 

 

 

 

 

I believe that real change happens when we can be honest with ourselves and with each other. In our work together, you can expect me to show up as an authentic person. I'll meet you where you are with honesty, empathy, and a healthy dose of no BS.

 

I work collaboratively with clients to explore relationship patterns, emotional experiences, and life challenges in a way that feels respectful, honest, and supportive. In couples therapy, I help partners better understand one another, improve communication, and navigate conflict with greater clarity and emotional awareness. In individual therapy, I support adults in exploring personal growth, relationships, boundaries, and life transitions. I strive to create a space that is compassionate and nonjudgmental, while also offering thoughtful reflection and gentle challenge when appropriate. My goal is to support clients in gaining insight, developing healthier patterns, and moving toward greater emotional well-being.

Fun Facts:

I’m married, raising two crazy kids alongside two English bulldogs who are always somewhere snoring or causing chaos. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me playing with my kids, heading to the beach, eating yummy food, or laughing way too hard with my best friends. I’m an ex–college athlete, a reality TV enthusiast, and someone who genuinely enjoys the simple, fun moments in life.

 

Most importantly, I'm simply just a human both in and out of my therapist role. I believe connection, humor, and being authentically yourself matter just as much as showing up and doing the work.

SERVICES

Tailored for You

Explore these services designed to support your mental and emotional well-being. From couples therapy to individual counseling, each service is crafted to promote growth and resilience.

Couples Therapy

Relationship Counseling

I focus on providing personalized therapy sessions that address the complex dynamics and challenges within relationships. Whether it's communication issues, underlying resentment, or intimacy concerns, I ensure that each session supports the growth and connection within the partnership. Sessions are 50-55 minutes in duration. 

Intensive Couples Therapy 

An intensive couples therapy session is a 90-minute appointment that gives partners more time to slow down, be heard, and work through patterns that can be hard to address in a standard 50-minute session. The extended time allows for deeper conversation, real-time practice of new skills, and meaningful progress without feeling rushed or cut short.

Individual Therapy

Personal Growth

Embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment through individual therapy sessions. I offer a supportive space for clients to explore their thoughts and emotions, fostering personal growth and well-being.

Sessions are 50-55 minutes in duration.

Intensive Individual Session 

An intensive individual therapy session is a 90-minute session designed to provide extra space for deeper, more focused work. With more time than a traditional 50-minute session, clients can explore patterns, process emotions, and practice tools at a comfortable pace, allowing for more insight and momentum without feeling rushed.
