About us

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.

  • Whether you're a biological mom, an adoptive mom, a stepmom, a fur mom, or a mother figure in any capacity, your love and care make a profound difference in the world. Let's also recognize that motherhood comes in many forms and faces unique challenges for each individual. Some moms may be navigating the joys and struggles of raising children, while others may be facing the complexities of infertility, loss, or the journey of single parenthood. Every experience is valid, and every mother deserves recognition and support. On this special day, I encourage all moms to give themselves the gift of grace. Whether that means taking a moment to rest and recharge, seeking support from loved ones, or simply acknowledging your own strength and resilience, honor yourself in whatever feels right for you.

  • Bereaved Mother's Day, is a poignant occasion dedicated to acknowledging and honoring the mothers who have experienced the loss of a child. While Mother's Day typically celebrates the joys of motherhood, this day recognizes the unique journey of those who carry the weight of grief alongside their maternal love. For mothers who have lost a child, Bereaved Mother's Day can be a day of both remembrance and reflection. It's a time to honor the memories of the children they have lost and to acknowledge the profound impact their presence continues to have on their lives. However, navigating this day can be incredibly challenging, both emotionally and mentally. If you're looking to support a bereaved mother on this day (or any day), here are some suggestions to consider: Acknowledge Their Loss: The simple act of acknowledging a bereaved mother's loss can mean the world to her. Let her know that you remember her child and that you're there to offer support whenever she needs it. Listen with Empathy: Sometimes, the best thing you can do for a grieving mother is to lend a listening ear. Allow her to express her thoughts and feelings without judgment or interruption. Show empathy and compassion as she navigates the complexities of grief. Offer Practical Support: Bereaved mothers may appreciate practical support, especially on days like Bereaved Mother's Day. Offer to help with household chores, run errands, or prepare meals, allowing her some time and space to focus on self-care. Respect Their Wishes: Every bereaved mother copes with grief differently, and it's essential to respect her individual needs and preferences. Some may find solace in participating in memorial activities, while others may prefer quiet reflection. Whatever her choice may be, support her in honoring her child in a way that feels meaningful to her. Remember Them on Special Days: Mother's Day, birthdays, and other significant milestones can be particularly challenging for bereaved mothers. Take the time to remember their child on these occasions, whether it's through a heartfelt message, a small gesture, or by simply being present with them in their grief. Encourage Self-Care: Grieving can take a toll on both physical and emotional well-being. Encourage them to prioritize self-care and seek out professional support if needed. Offer resources such as therapy, support groups, or other forms of holistic healing that may aid in their journey towards healing. Be Patient and Understanding: Grief doesn't have a timeline, and the process can be long and unpredictable. Be patient with the bereaved mother and understand that her emotions may fluctuate over time. Offer your ongoing support and reassurance, letting her know that you're there for her whenever she needs you. On Bereaved Mother's Day, and every day, let's honor the strength, resilience, and unwavering love of bereaved mothers. Let's stand beside them as they navigate the complexities of grief, offering our support, and understanding.
