I am Terilynn Salas, a Doctor of Social Work with a clinical license from Hawaii. I have over 10 years of experience as a professional counselor and specialize in trauma recovery. My therapeutic approach primarily operates from psychodynamic therapy which is useful in exploring internal unresolved conflicts contributing to emotional and relationship challenges, as well as patterns of self-destructive behaviors that may interfere with one's life satisfaction. I've spent a lot of time helping clients with stress and anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, & coping with grief and loss.

As a psychotherapist, researcher, and expert in culture and identity conflicts, my therapy work starts with making space for your unique lived experiences, identities, and how you show up in your different worlds. Using a range of evidence-based therapy techniques including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy, and psychodynamic therapy, I help my patients learn about themselves, explore the issues that have led to emotional distress, and teach healthy tools to manage the situations at hand. My therapy involves exploring your past, present, and future challenges and pursuing an emotional growth to handle it all.

Change takes effort. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help you make that change. For problems like panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, social phobia, chronic worry, and depression, CBT is among the world's most proven treatments, and we often combine CBT with exposure therapy, as well, to help people move past these problems. CBT teaches you how to change your thinking, with an initial focus on improving the here-and-now with smaller focus on the past. Practice is essential and CBT involves work, but that work often yields results.

My name is Teresa Torres-Johnson, I have over thirteen years of experience working with issues such as anxiety disorder, substance abuse, addiction, PTSD, autism, LGBTQIA+, stress, and couples counseling. I was a teacher for some years and worked with counseling adolescents to geriatrics. In my years of experience, I worked with ages 11 years to 70 years old. I worked with adolescents in the school system and military personnel dealing with PTSD, addiction, and relationship issues. I have worked with the LGBTQIA community dealing with family and community issues.

While vulnerable, healthy people seek therapy because not avoiding and recognizing you need support, is a sign of strength. I provide therapy to people coping with life changes, relationship stressors, loss, trauma, depression/anxiety, infertility, health issues, parenting, or job challenges (including the military). It's important to find a therapist with skill and training, however positive outcomes in therapy largely depend on the relationship you build.

We all experience challenges in our lives, but with insight and strong relationships we can explore new perspectives together. I can assist you with expressing yourself with greater ease and confidence, coping with grief and loss, uncovering and remembering your authentic self, identifying priorities and skills, and developing more peace in your life. Whether you are adjusting to a life change, struggling with anxiety, trauma, or depression, or facing challenges in your relationships, I offer a range of individualized services to help foster awareness, resilience, and positivity.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with a professional interest in working with adults, adolescents and couples. I treat depression, anxiety, trauma, substance problems, parenting, relationship concerns, grief, working with a diverse clientele including LGBTQ, police/military populations. My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a fulfilled life. While we can not change difficult situations of your past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. Together we will uncover long-standing behavior patterns holding you back from experiencing a more rewarding and meaningful life.

Many people experience a deep sense of longing often described as a feeling of emptiness. What we use to fix or fill that emptiness can begin addictive processes like alcoholism, love addiction, and codependency. My approach is to meet that longing with compassion, understanding and love. Often the problem that causes us discomfort is an old way of coping that a part of us believes we need. Together we find the meaning that is generating or keeping the presenting symptom or problem in place and then move to swiftly create positive lasting change.

My goal is to help those seeking support and guidance on their journey towards healing and personal growth. Whether you're struggling with everyday stressors, navigating challenging life events, or coping with anxiety and depression, I'm here to provide a safe space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences openly. I prioritize fostering an approachable, non-judgmental therapeutic alliance regardless of a person’s background, gender expression, or sexual identity. As your therapist, I would do my very best to ensure you feel understood and help you learn how to advocate for your needs outside of our sessions.

If you are struggling to make sense out of your past or current experiences, having difficulty managing your emotions, or just need someone to talk to, I would be honored to be part of your healing journey. I’m passionate about helping others to find fulfillment, peace, healing, inner strength, and purpose. I will work with you, at your pace, to make long-lasting changes in your life. I incorporate trauma informed approaches, EMDR,CBT, Solution Focused, and Motivational Interviewing to create a safe and non-judgmental space for exploration, goal setting, and transformation. My therapeutic style is person-centered and collaborative.
