Trying to live with depression without letting anyone know is difficult. Especially if you are struggling with some of the worst symptoms like inability to make decisions and lack of energy. Some days it may even be hard to get out of bed. How can you live your life like that? You can’t so you need to talk to one of the psychologists in Gardner for treatment. 

Gardner is the home of the largest chair in the world and that is how it got its nickname of “chair city.” This huge piece of furniture is a really cool thing to see but if you are trying to deal with depression, you really don’t care about a giant chair. You need to set an appointment with a Gardner psychologist right away.

Hello, my name is Christina DeSantis. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Simmons College. I have been in the Human Services field for over 15 years. I’ve worked as a therapist in various capacities for over 10 years. I have worked with individuals of all ages. The areas in which I have the most exposure are with people dealing with addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, people dealing with life changes, and people who are struggling with emotional distress due to medical conditions. I do not subscribe to one treatment modality in particular. I think it is important to customize treatment based on the person’s individualized needs. I do have experience in using Cognitive -Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. As a therapist, I consider my most important values to be the ability to be open-minded, empathetic and non-judgmental. I believe the thing that sets me apart from other therapists is my ability to be real and authentic but being compassionate at the same time. I strongly believe in honesty within a therapeutic relationship. I commit myself to being honest to the people I work with. In return, I hope to provide a safe space for people to be comfortable and candid. I understand that therapy can be hard work, and taking the steps towards working on you can be scary. My hope is to be a guide in this experience and to offer support as you tackle some of life’s biggest challenges. I look forward to walking through this important journey with you.
