Santiago Agudelo, LMHC-D

                                       Licensed Mental Health Counselor| New York

​

Santiago Agudelo, LMHC-D, is a New York–licensed, bilingual psychotherapist committed to helping teens and adults develop the tools they need to thrive. He works with clients ages 16 and up, offering a balanced approach that is both direct and deeply supportive. Santiago believes in meeting clients where they are while guiding them toward lasting change through practical, evidence-based strategies.

His therapeutic style integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. This combination allows him to tailor each session to the individual’s needs—whether they’re working through anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, or building healthier habits and coping skills.

As a U.S. veteran and Colombian immigrant, Santiago brings a unique understanding of resilience, identity, and the complexities of adapting to new environments and expectations. These lived experiences shape his commitment to culturally competent care and to creating an environment where clients feel genuinely seen and understood. Fluent in both English and Spanish, he is passionate about providing accessible and inclusive mental health services to diverse communities.

Santiago believes people are capable of far more than they often recognize. His direct, strength-based approach helps clients tap into their own abilities, challenge unhelpful patterns, and gain clarity in their personal life, relationships, and emotional well-being. His goal is to help each client walk away from therapy with practical tools and the confidence to apply them in real-world situations.
