Deserry Salgado

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy should feel supportive, collaborative, and practical. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, and burnout. I also support clients who want to strengthen their self-esteem, develop healthier boundaries, and feel more confident navigating changes in their personal or professional lives. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself while we work toward meaningful change.

My approach is client-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. I meet clients where they are and tailor therapy to their individual needs, goals, and experiences. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), incorporating practical strategies to build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, increase self-awareness, and develop healthier ways of responding to difficult thoughts and emotions. Therapy with me is collaborative, and we work together to build on your strengths and create changes that feel realistic and sustainable.

Our first session is focused on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. We’ll talk about your current concerns, important experiences, strengths, and what you would like to change or improve. Together, we’ll begin identifying goals and what support may be most helpful. I strive to create a comfortable, judgment-free environment where you can move at your own pace and leave with a clear sense of where we can begin.
