Amiera Salman, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Amiera!

I'm motivated to help others realize their full potential. I have broad experience working with individuals experiencing relationship challenges.

My focus

I have worked with adolescents, young adults, and parents struggling with challenging teens. I've also worked with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and addiction. At this time, I focus on working with adults, couples, and families.

My approach

My approach is unconditional positive regard. I incorporate cognitive therapy techniques to help individuals utilize coping skills. I also use DBT, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing.

My communication style

The tone of the sessions with me will be relaxing, peaceful, and supportive.

My journey to mental healthcare

I feel that helping other people reach their goals and overcome challenges is fulfilling work. I tend to gravitate towards helping others and find fulfillment in motivating people to find their strength to overcome challenges.

My goals for you

I feel goal setting with clients should be a collaborative process. I like to learn more about the client's goals and struggles and work with them to formulate a treatment plan.

Our first session

During the first session, it is a time to get to know the client, their background, and their goals for therapy. It is also a time to provide information about what to expect during therapy.
