Hi there, I’m Salmah! I’m dedicated and eager to be a part of your journey to prioritize your mental health and/or work towards your growth and healing. I’m a culturally-informed therapist, taking a client-centered approach as I believe you are the expert of your own life. You have your own story and unique life experience that you know best and the ways in which these experiences have impacted you. I’m here to create a safe and supportive space for you to share your story and work in collaboration with you to achieve what you need from therapy.
I've worked with clients experiencing major life stressors, grief/bereavement, and anxiety. My approach is centered around empathy, compassion, and collaboration. I utilize evidence-based practices, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Strengths-Based Therapy to assist clients in recognizing thought patterns and identifying their strengths.
I’m here to support you in your journey as it is not a linear process (and that’s okay) because your growth is still growth! We’ll work together to help you navigate life’s challenges, work towards growth and healing, and explore healthy ways of coping that work for you and practice mindfulness.
