Hi, I’m Kristian Salazar, LCSW. I work with adults and adolescents navigating depression, anxiety, and thoughts of self-harm. I aim to create a modern, affirming, and grounded therapeutic space. My approach combines Solution-Focused Therapy, CBT, and a trauma-informed lens. I also use a dialectical perspective, helping clients accept their current emotions while working toward meaningful change. Together, we build skills that support emotional regulation, resilience, and personal growth. I also provide a safe space for individuals that are in the LGBTQIA+ community.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor serving individuals across Texas via telehealth, and I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted—exactly as you are. Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or emotionally exhausted, often carrying the weight of trauma, anxiety/depression, or grief. You might feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or weighed down by past experiences that still show up in the present. My role is to help you make sense of those experiences and move forward in a way that feels safe, supportive, and empowering. My approach is accepting, collaborative, and deeply empathic. Clients often share that they feel truly understood in our sessions—without judgment or pressure. I use EMDR alongside talk therapy to help process painful memories, so they hold less power over your day-to-day life. Together, we work toward making the weight of your past feel lighter. I was drawn to mental health work because I truly enjoy helping people reconnect with their strength. What continues to motivate my work is witnessing those moments when clients realize they don’t have to carry everything alone. If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you with understanding & empathy, I’d be honored to support you on your journey.

Do you struggle with codependency? Constantly seeking reassurance from others? People pleasing? Low self-esteem? Or maybe you’ve been struggling with maintaining relationships with others, issues with commitment, hyper-independence, or fear of abandonment? I know how heavy this can feel, and I would like you to know that you do not have to suffer in silence! I am an attachment-based therapist that focuses on how trauma impacts how you view yourself & others. Struggling with attachment issues often results in having issues with trusting and/or connecting to others. I would like to walk with you through your journey of healing. I form a collaborative therapeutic relationship with clients to help them take an active role in their healing. My goal is to help you address trauma so that you can form healthy and meaningful relationships. We will explore how past trauma is showing up in your current relationships with others, and how it is affecting your relationship with yourself. I aim to serve as a reminder to you that a positive life after pain is possible with the right tools & coping skills. My goal is to remind you that your strength & value comes from within. Your past does not define who you are today. You deserve peace. Show yourself grace, and schedule a free 15 minute consultation to start your process of healing.

I offer compassionate therapy for anxiety, depression, neurodiversity, relationship challenges, and trauma. I create a safe and affirming space for individuals and couples from all walks of life, including the LGBTQ+ community. As a multicultural individual who has lived in several countries, I understand the profound impact of living and working outside one's own culture, often without the familiar support of family and friends. The pursuit of a successful career can demand significant sacrifices, and I recognize the losses that often accompany the gains. Living far from home, navigating a new culture, and missing your loved ones can leave you feeling isolated and overwhelmed. It affects your well-being and relationships. If you're seeking a path towards healing and growth, I'm here to support you. Let's connect – schedule a free 15-minute consultation today.

If you are trying to figure out who you are and where you’re headed, you are not alone. This stage of life can feel exciting one minute and overwhelming the next. You might look like you have it together on the outside, but inside you are stressed, anxious, burned out, or unsure of yourself. The students I work best with are thoughtful, self-aware, and trying hard to “do things right.” You care about your future. You want meaningful relationships. You want to succeed. But you may also feel pressure from family, academics, social media, or your own expectations. Maybe you overthink everything. Maybe you procrastinate and then criticize yourself for it. Maybe you feel lonely even when you are surrounded by people. Some of the students I work with are: -Adjusting to college life or struggling with the transition -Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or constantly “on edge” -Navigating identity questions around career, relationships, culture, or sexuality -Recovering from a breakup or friendship shift -Dealing with perfectionism or fear of failure -Questioning whether they’re “good enough” In our work together, we create space to slow down and really listen to what’s going on beneath the surface. Therapy is something we build together, a place to be honest, ask hard questions, and try new ways of coping. We will make sense of what you’re feeling, practice tools to manage stress and self-doubt, and help you move toward a life that feels more grounded and more like your own. You don’t have to wait until things fall apart to reach out. If you’are willing to show up as you are, we can start from there.

Have you ever found yourself standing in the middle of a maze, unsure how you got there, and how to begin finding your way out? As a dually licensed practitioner with over 10 years of experience, I can understand how life's daily challenges, acute and chronic stress, traumatic experiences, and generational trauma can compound on a person, leaving them stranded in a complex maze without a clear path out. Throughout my clinical experience, I have worked with clients struggling with substance abuse/ addiction, acute and chronic stressors, suicidal ideation, family conflict, divorce, and trauma. I have specialized training working with women, young adults and military families, trauma and abuse, family conflict, and co-parenting issues. If you are ready to begin your journey with support, I will work alongside you to make meaningful and sustainable change, help you gain insights to patterns in your behavior, and work towards the life you envision for yourself. You can book with me via my website.

I treat clients with addiction related issues as well as loved ones of addicts.
