My name is Tina Salazar and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the LA area and working statewide in CA via telehealth. I work with adults who are experiencing difficulties including anxiety, depression, life transitions, and stress. I utilize an integrative approach that will help you focus on personal growth to live a full and authentic life.
My approach
I use and/or combine, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Coaching and Solution Focus techniques, and other Tools as an integrated approach that is best suited to your needs. I am also open to using any modalities that may work for your specific issues.
My focus
I have recently been working more with people who are more challenged by the current changes happening around the world. Also, transitions, changes and just wanting to be happy. With my techniques I focus on reconnecting with your strengths that can help you stand up to the everyday challenges you face, and the things that give your life happiness and meaning to move forward and overcome life's stressors.
My communication style
Commitment, passion, and presence are my style. I am calm, patient, and understanding. I will strive to move you forward with warmth and respect. I value each individual's unique experience.
My journey to mental healthcare
I went to therapy in my early 20s and learned so much about myself. I promised myself that one day I would go back to school and become a therapist so I could help others experience what I had learned. Many years later I achieved that goal and have been enjoying the work ever since
My goals for you
Goal setting will be a collaborative approach, I will meet you where you are in life and work actively with you to understand your situation and find the best treatment plan with your input and abilities in mind.
My first session with you
During the first session, I will provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore, learn, grow, and change. My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths and to help you feel empowered to lead a more purposeful and fulfilling life.
