About me

Hola, welcome to my profile! My name is Edna Salcido and I am a bilingual (Spanish and English) Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. I obtained my bachelor's degree from CSU Monterey Bay and my master's degree from USC. Through my years in practice, I have provided a safe space for healing as I support moving through anxiety, depression, grief, processing trauma, boundary setting and many diverse life challenges. I have experience working out in the field providing mental health services in homes and schools as well as experience in a medical setting as a lifespan therapist.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During our first session, we will introduce ourselves, gather details to understand what brings you to therapy, identify your strengths and coping strategies to build rapport and provide a safe space. We will also discuss your overall goal for therapy and your readiness to do the work.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having worked in the mental health field for 13 years I have witnessed the need time and time again for a whole-person approach in therapy to get to the root cause of challenges experienced.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am a trauma-informed & whole-person therapist trained in EMDR & Brainspotting. I provide mind-body, nervous system care & an attachment lens approach incorporating nutritional psychiatry education. I provide a warm, gentle & safe therapeutic environment to be vulnerable & joyful. It is important while working with me that you are authentically you!

Edna is very warm and creates a safe space to open up and navigate tough conversations. Since beginning therapy with her, I have felt weight lifted off my shoulders and better connected with myself.

This has only been my second session, and she did something that I have not done with other therapists in the past. I look forward to continue working with Edna
