Salvador Jaimez, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Salvador!

Welcome! I am Sal, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Since 2016, I have supported adolescents and adults from all walks of life. I provide an affirming space for everyone, specializing in LGBTQ+ identity, relationships, and wellness. I am excited to meet you where you are and partner with you to reach your goals!

My focus

I partner best with clients ready for positive change and eager to work at their own pace. Meeting you exactly where you are, I leverage your unique personal strengths to support your mental health and broader life goals.

My approach

My approach centers on meeting you where you are, working at your own pace. I use collaborative goal-setting with your unique strengths to build an empowering therapeutic relationship. I provide an open and honest space where you feel seen, heard, and respected. I blend gentle directness with deep compassion to support your mental health journey.

My communication style

I offer an open, warm, and honest communication style. I ensure you feel seen and heard while always keeping your best interests in mind. I deliver direct feedback gently, helping you receive insights with clarity and an open mind.

My goals for you

I help you reach your goals by identifying your unique strengths and creating a collaborative, step-by-step plan at your own pace. Together, we break down barriers using honest feedback and practical tools. By meeting you exactly where you are, I empower you to build lasting positive change on your own terms.

Our first session

In our first session, we will establish norms and set expectations to ground our work together. We will get to know each other, and I highly encourage you to ask questions. Finally, we will review your intake assessment tools and collaborate on a personalized therapeutic goal to guide and focus our future telehealth sessions.
