There is a moment in every person’s story when something says, “I can’t keep doing this the same way.” That moment matters. It may be quiet, messy, unexpected, or long overdue—but it can also be the beginning of something different. After more than 20 years in behavioral health and over 11 years as a clinician, I’ve learned that therapy is not about having all the answers. It’s about having a place to stop, breathe, tell the truth about where you are, and discover where you want to go next.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, substance use, or simply feeling like you no longer have control over your life. You may know that you want things to change but feel unsure about where to begin. That is where therapy can help. I believe therapy should be a safe space where you feel comfortable being honest about what you are experiencing without fear of judgment. My personality is warm, compassionate, understanding, and straightforward. I will meet you where you are while also encouraging you to look more closely at the thoughts, behaviors, and patterns that may be keeping you from moving forward. I am here to support you, but I also want to help you recognize your own strength and ability to create change in your life. I have extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I also use different therapeutic approaches based on who you are, what you have experienced, and what you need from therapy. I understand that therapy is not one size fits all, so our work together will be tailored to your individual needs, culture, identity, strengths, and goals. Both my personal and professional experiences have taught me that healing is not always easy or straightforward. It takes honesty, patience, self compassion, and a willingness to do the work. You do not have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. You simply need to be willing to begin. Together, we will identify what may be keeping you stuck, develop healthier ways to manage life’s challenges, and work toward the life you truly want. We will work together to help you become more intentional with your life and mindful with your healing.

For the past 17 years, I have had the privilege of helping people navigate the complicated, messy, and often deeply meaningful work of understanding themselves. I believe therapy can be a place to slow down-to step outside of the noise and begin taking a more examined look at your life, your patterns, your relationships and the choices you've been making. My approach is grounded in the belief that our minds and nervous system are constantly trying to protect us. Many of the patterns that can leave us feeling stuck, anxious, disconnected or overwhelmed once served an important purpose. I am interested in helping you understand why these patterns developed, what they may be trying to communicate and whether they still serve you in the life you're living now. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and mindfulness practices. I don't believe there is one right way to do therapy, so our work will be collaborative and tailored to you.

I believe healing is possible for everyone, and I strive to create a supportive, affirming space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to become your most authentic self. I have experience working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, adults, older adults, first responders, survivors of domestic violence, individuals with substance use concerns, couples, families, and clients from diverse cultural backgrounds. I treat a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, addiction, anger management, bipolar disorder, OCD, co-dependency, grief, self-esteem, relationship challenges, family conflict, divorce, men's issues, spirituality, race-related concerns, vocational stress, and life transitions. I know reaching out for help can feel vulnerable, especially when you're carrying anxiety, sadness, trauma, or the weight of life's stressors. My goal is to provide a safe, judgment-free space where you can show up as you are and move toward greater healing, confidence, and emotional well-being. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices tailored to your unique needs. I feel especially honored to work with LGBTQIA+ individuals, first responders, and couples and families seeking stronger relationships. Together, we'll build practical coping skills, strengthen resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change. It would be a privilege to support you on your journey, and I look forward to meeting you.

Have you been considering therapy? What’s stopping you from engaging in therapy? One of my goals is to destigmatize and normalize therapy, particularly in marginalized communities and expand access to therapy. As a therapist, I hope to provide a safe, supportive, comfortable, judgment-free environment that allows one to feel comfortable enough to open up and share their story and experiences. My focus areas are individuals coping with life stressors, depression, anxiety, family relationships and other diagnoses and stressors that are impacting your daily functioning. It would be a pleasure to walk on this journey of healing and empowerment with you.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with extensive experience supporting individuals across the lifespan, including adolescents, adults, couples, families, and older adults. I specialize in helping clients who are struggling with anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, and life transitions, and who are seeking both relief and deeper understanding of themselves. Clients often describe me as warm, grounded, and easy to talk to, while also thoughtful and direct when helping them identify patterns that may be keeping them stuck. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, with a strong focus on helping clients feel emotionally safe while also gently encouraging insight, reflection, and meaningful change. In my work, I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, trauma-informed care, and psychodynamic principles. This allows me to support both present-day symptom relief and deeper exploration of long-standing emotional and relational patterns. My clinical background includes many years of work in community mental health in New York City, where I provided care to diverse and underserved populations. I also have experience in inpatient psychiatric settings supporting individuals during acute crises, as well as involvement in psychiatric research, which strengthened my foundation in evidence-based and clinically grounded care. At the core of my work is the belief that people are not defined by their symptoms or their past experiences. Instead, therapy is a space to better understand yourself, shift long-standing patterns, and build a more grounded, connected and intentional life.

I’m a relational, insight-oriented therapist who believes meaningful change happens when we slow down enough to understand what’s really driving our patterns. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, identity shifts, and relationship dynamics, especially those who function well on the outside but feel tangled or overwhelmed internally. My approach is psychodynamic and collaborative. Together, we look at the emotional themes and internal narratives shaping your current struggles, not just to analyze them, but to help you move through life with more clarity, flexibility, and self-trust.

Hello, I'm Salisa, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional specializing in Maternal Mental Health and Childhood Trauma. Like many of my clients, I understand the reality of balancing multiple roles, navigating life's challenges, and carrying responsibilities while still trying to care for yourself. I know how easy it can be to put yourself last while caring for everyone around you, and I believe that seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness. As a therapist, I strive to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without pressure, shame, or the expectation that you have everything figured out. Whether you're navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, motherhood, life transitions, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the demands of daily life, my goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported. My approach is warm, genuine, and strengths-based. I believe healing happens when we are given the opportunity to explore our experiences safely while also recognizing the resilience we've developed along the way. Together, we'll identify your strengths, build practical tools for navigating challenges, and work toward creating a life that feels more balanced, connected, and fulfilling. You don't have to carry everything alone. Therapy can be a place to pause, reflect, heal, and grow—and I would be honored to walk alongside you in that journey.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use.
