Solmaterna Psychotherapy & Consulting

Welcome, my name is Dr. Solimar Santiago- Warner. I am an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in NY and CT for nearly two decades. As a dedicated perinatal EMDR specialist, I focus on alleviating distressing symptoms and providing effective results for individuals and couples navigating reproductive and maternal mental health challenges. When embarking on the journey to start a family, one likely never envisioned encountering the distress, disappointment, and sorrow that often accompany fertility struggles. Such challenges can deeply affect mental well-being, influencing one's sense of self and identity. Couples may find themselves coping with these difficulties in divergent ways, leading to added strain on their relationship amidst an already painful situation. When the stress of reproductive loss becomes overwhelming, even the most resilient individuals may find themselves grappling with emotional, physical, and financial burdens. During our therapy sessions, we'll focus on: Navigating through difficult emotions and memories Addressing any relationship challenges and communication breakdowns between partners Developing strategies for managing triggers, such as anniversaries or encounters with pregnant acquaintances Finding ways to incorporate the loss into your life and derive meaning from such a profound experience Exploring plans and hopes for the future Practicing self-compassion and acceptance during the healing process. Expect specialized expertise in pregnancy, childbirth, and perinatal loss. Tailored care for grief, trauma, and mood disorders. Compassionate support for couples. Utilizing proven interventions like EMDR therapy. Take the first step toward healing today.
