Edna Salcido
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.
My name is Edna Salcido and I am a bilingual (Spanish and English) Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California.
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.
First session
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.
Strengths
Having worked in the mental health field for 14 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.
Ideal clients
I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and I deeply admire those who are willing to let curiosity exist alongside discomfort. I engage in collaborative processes that confront challenges while uncovering glimmers of hope within them. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, and I enjoy bringing a “Spanglish” touch into sessions to create a more comfortable and authentic space.
Treatment methods
EMDR
I am EMDR trained and working on certification. This treatment method is for you if there are memories that continue to impact you causing distress.
Brainspotting
I am trained in Brainspotting in Phases 1 & 2. If you are seeking a mind-body approach with less talking this is a modality to explore.
Polyvagal Therapy
If you experience frequent dysregulation and do not have the tools to regulate this is an effective approach to support nervous system care.
