Instructor Bios:
Andrew Santanello, Psy.D is a licensed, clinical psychologist and a long time practitioner of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Dr. Santanello worked in the Department of Veterans Affairs as a PTSD specialist for over a decade before moving to his current position as a CBT Trainer in a non-profit organization. Although Dr. Santanello has extensive expertise "surfing" the second wave CBT interventions (he is a PTSD subject matter expert and National Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) trainer), his passion for ACT and Third-Wave behavioral interventions is a common thread throughout his professional career. His professional interests include dissemination and practice of Evidence-Based Psychotherapy and Third-Wave behavioral interventions including mindfulness-based interventions. Dr. Santanello is an active member in the Military SIG and Mid-Atlantic Chapter (MAC) of the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science (ACBS). He is currently the MAC Member-at-Large. In addition to his professional interests, he is a dedicated practitioner of Zen meditation and has received the title of Hoshi (meaning “dharma holder”), indicating that he is a sensei-in-training in the White Plum lineage of the Soto Zen School.

As such, she provides local workshops and individual supervision for ACT for professionals and graduate students.
