PEERS® for Young Adults Certified Provider
Welcome! I’m Salina, LCSW, a licensed therapist specializing in anxiety, social anxiety, self-esteem, and confidence building for young adults and adults in California and Florida.
Who do I help?
I help adults who constantly struggle with:
- Anxiety and Social Anxiety
- Overthinking and emotional overwhelm
- Self-doubt
- People-pleasing
- Perfectionism
Many of my clients appear high-functioning on the outside while internally feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or overly critical of themselves.
Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based interventions, and evidence-based tools, I work with clients in:
- managing anxiety and discovering new ways in responding to anxious thoughts and the physical feelings of anxiety
- managing social anxiety and building their social confidence and trust in themselves
- building friendships, relationships and improving communication
- Reducing harsh self-criticism and building self-compassion and resilience
Therapy is a collaborative space where we work together to better understand the patterns contributing to anxiety and self-doubt while developing practical strategies, developing new skills that support positive and healthy change.
My background includes more than 10 years in the healthcare field supporting adults and young adults navigating anxiety, social anxiety, stress, depression, major life transitions, and low self-esteem. In addition to therapy services, I also provide educational programs focused on social anxiety and self-esteem.
Clients often describe my approach as warm, compassionate, collaborative, and practical. I tailor therapy to your individual needs so sessions feel supportive, personalized, and empowering.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming and hard, but you don't have to navigate it alone. Relief is possible! Help is here. Reach out today!
