Guadalupe Quintana Salgado
Living as your authentic self is sometimes a struggle with who you expect to be and who others expect you to be. Changing habits can be very difficult but I want you to know that you have the ability to start over and be the best version of yourself.
As a bilingual and bicultural therapist, I pride myself in being culturally sensitive and building cultural humility and respecting my client’s needs and self-determination.
As a Licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist, I use a holistic approach to support clients to meet their behavioral health goals. I love working with clients who “just need a place to vent” but also individuals who experience a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, PTSD, stress management, substance use and grief. I began training as a psychotherapist 7 years ago and have worked with diverse and vulnerable populations in social services and healthcare settings ever since. My interests include LGBTQ+ and HIV Care, Substance Use Disorders, and Solution-focused therapy. I enjoy spending time with family, reading, dancing, and binging Netflix documentaries.
First session
In our first therapy session we will discuss the presenting problem and start thinking about a plan for treatment. My focus is in empowering the client and building on the client’s strengths. I provide empathy, provide constructive feedback and create a climate of trust.
