Dominique Salido

I specialize in working with middle aged individuals and older adults, through various topics such as grief and loss, life adjustments/changes, caregiver stress, isolation, loneliness, changes to physical and mental functioning, and lack of meaning/purpose. To address these, we may further explore distorted ways of thinking, cultural beliefs/expectations, society pressures, helpful/unhelpful coping skills, and process emotions, thoughts, and behaviors to work towards alignment of a healthy and safe lifestyle.

My approach includes spending time getting to know more about your background, collaborating on addressing your needs, and moving at your pace. I incorporate various therapy approaches and other evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help address triggers, emotional distress, anxiety, depression, grief, ambivalence, or other mental health challenges.

During our first session we will take time to introduce ourselves and build rapport, identify strengths/challenges, review limits of confidentiality, risks and benefits of treatment, responsibilities, and roles. We will then explore what you would like to prioritize addressing in treatment. Lastly, we will discuss logistics such as scheduling, structure of session, and agree to a plan for moving forward. I look forward to meeting with you!
