Anita Santiago M.Ed., LPC, NCC

Clinical Mental Health Counselor & Doctoral Student (Clinical Psychology)

Welcome to my page and thanks for stopping by. I love to talk!!! As a young girl, I remember mesmerizing conversations with my family. Good conversation created happy memories & brought our family together. It didn’t matter if we agreed, good conversations always often resulted in lots of smiles, laughter and lots of positive vibes when we were together.

My conversation skills have been important in my mental health work. As Clinical Mental Health Counselor, meaningful conversations are an important part of working with clients. After completing my Master’s degree, I enrolled in the Clinical Psychology doctoral program at Ponce Health Sciences University - St. Louis campus. The mental health field is exciting and I’m very passionate about what I do. Opportunities to work with clients and their families on mental health issues provides a great sense of joy. I’ve also been blessed to speak at and support various mental health events in the St. Louis area.

This journey involving communication and mental health is the inspiration for my radio and podcast work. I have two current projects: Let’s Talk About It and the Convos With Anita Santiago podcast. Let’s Talk About It is an on-air candid conversation about the journey of life. Topics touch on life challenges, love, relationships, personal growth, current events and much more it. Let’s Talk About It is hosted by D2ThaC & 96.3 R&B For the Lou. Let’s Talk About It is currently on break, but past episodes are posted on the homepage. The Convos With Anita Santiago podcast expands the Let’s Talk About It format and takes listeners a little deeper. Guest speakers drop in from time to time to spice things up! I promise this podcast will not disappoint.

Appreciate you taking a little time to check out my website. Be sure to check out the guest speaker section, reading room, and the store featuring cool Let’s Talk About It and Convos With Anita Santiago merchandise!
