Santiago Delboy

Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“I help people who feel stuck, trapped, or lost, who are curious about themselves, who are not looking for a fix but for growth and freedom.”

About Me

I help those feeling stuck, trapped, or lost to gently explore their inner world. If you are curious about yourself and seeking genuine growth, not a quick fix, we can connect. Together, we will uncover insights, fostering a path towards lasting freedom. This collaborative space is ideal for individuals ready to understand their experiences deeply. We can work to build clarity and a stronger sense of self.

Approach

When curiosity meets a readiness for real change, I hold a steady, patient frame that lets us slow down and name what’s beneath your patterns. In my Chicago office I offer sessions in English and Spanish where we attend to sensations, stories, and the quieter impulses that shape relationships and mood. Sessions blend reflective listening with targeted experiments between meetings so insights translate into different choices. People navigating shame, sexual acting out, anxiety, or big life shifts often find this careful, practical pace helpful.
