Therapy can be beneficial to those struggling and facing a variety of challenging life situations. You may be struggling with a relationship, struggling with a physical or mental health issue or have persistent sadness or worries that are getting in the way of your life. Working with a therapist can help you process issues that may be too difficult to work through on your own. I am currently accepting new in-person clients and also offer teletherapy. Additionally, I currently have evening availability.

Accepting New Patients!!! Madeline Albright said, "It took a long time for me to develop a voice and now that I have it, I am not going to be silent." If you are looking to develop your voice and sense of self while overcoming the pain of trauma, I am here to help. Many times, we as women don't use our voice for fear of not being believed, heard, or understood. We keep our pain inside, and it's not healthy.

Maya Angelou said, "You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them." Our youth and young adults today are faced with unique challenges their families and loved ones could not have prepared for. Do you or your teen struggle to cope with the events happening in their life? I offer support, tools, and guidance for kids and families that are having difficulty navigating this challenging time. A healthy future can be possible. I also offer EMDR to help with trauma experienced by clients.

I'm happy you are here. I work with women and new parents who are struggling with the transition to pregnancy or parenting and want to feel more enjoyment and confidence in their new identity and relationships. I know it can be intimidating to consider therapy. You may be pregnant or newly postpartum, grappling with the physical, emotional, and environmental changes that come with such a transition. You may be a tired or stressed out parent, trying to “have it all” but always falling behind the endless to-dos. I understand the difficulties that come with expanding your family. We can work together to improve your wellbeing.

In the impactful words of Michelle Obama, "There's power in allowing yourself to be known and heard, in owning your unique story, in using your authentic voice". We all have our own individual stories, shaped by our life experiences, that can change and affect us. Sometimes these experiences may lead us to a place to explore our stories, identify what has altered them, and allow us to decide how we would like our stories to look moving forward. Through the therapeutic journey set at your own pace, the opportunity for healing can take place through connection, conversation, and exploration. Are you interested in exploring your story?

People strive to create meaningful relationships. Many enter psychotherapy because that need isn't being met, wasn't met, or because they fear it won't be met. People feel/behave for reasons often outside awareness. Attempts to master psychological pain determine why people behave consistently, predictably, and sometimes self-destructively. The therapeutic relationship is determined by my ability to provide a safe forum for examining thoughts, feelings, and behaviors by maintaining a nonjudgmental, empathic rapport. Successful treatment integrates cognitive and emotional components of people developing increasing self-awareness. It includes supportive and interpretive interventions, while also leveraging strengths.

You know that "thing" you are going through right now? That "thing" that prompted you to look up a therapist? No need to go through that thing alone. Be it adjustment to motherhood, divorce/separation, employment or college strife, work/life balance, difficult family situations, or concern for the future, we can work through this. Interested in enhancing communication skills, developing stronger coping mechanisms, or processing a difficult time in life? I believe in practical, sustainable methods of treatment. My approach is compassionate but honest. Together, we will identify your thought patterns while improving emotional regulation and self awareness.

I have experience with working with adults that may be suffering with identity concerns, substance abuse, trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders. Our learned experiences, culture, genetics, and nature directly impact our behaviors and responses. Working from a Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Approach, my mission is to collaborate with clients to promote healing, coping skills, emotional awareness, and more.

Are you struggling with maintaining your sanity as a wife, mother and caretaker? Or are you just someone who needs clarity on what your needs really are? While sometimes it is difficult to understand your own needs, therapy is a way to maintain your self care, learn how to gain better understanding and communicate your needs and feelings, to help you address barriers to healthy relationships and accomplishing personal goals.  As a therapist I have over 10 years of experience in helping adults and adolescents identify their own needs and collaborate to help them recognize how to improve upon those barriers.

My name is Hannah Salazar and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio. I started my mental health counselor journey back in 2016 and since then I have worked with ages 3-93. My prior training includes being trained as a neuropsychological psychometrist and will often utilize some mental health assessments in session in order to obtain objective data that will help me to help you. I utilize ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) during sessions and will often pull from both theories.
