Dzenana Salic-Camarena

Welcome! I am so happy you have taken the first step to healing. My name is Dzenana and I work with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress, grief/loss, emotion regulation, suicidal ideation, and trauma. My master's is from University of Missouri-Kansas City. I have worked as a school counselor for 11 years before opening my own private practice. My varied life experiences allow me to connect meaningfully with people to foster their growth. Whether you are struggling with deep past events or current daily life stress, I can work with you. If you are hesitant, give me just one hour. Let's get started!

My style is informal yet respectful. I like to build on your strengths and interests. Depending on your needs and developmental level, I may use CBT, DBT, and/or incorporate tools such as play-based interventions, art, movement, play, or music to support processing of feelings and your skill building. I do this while honoring your background and unique life experiences.

In a session, we will address whatever is on your mind at that time. Once we have helped you feel better, we can focus on working on your goals. You will always have a say in what goals we set and work on. Sessios will be collaborative and person-centered. During sessions, you can expect a warm, empathetic, and a non-judgmental approach.
