Erica Salinas

Hi, I am a bilingual LPC and RPT (Registered Play Therapist) and EMDR trained. I received an MS in Counseling and Development at Texas Woman’s University. I have 10 years of experience working with children and teens from “hard places”, addressing issues such as separation from families, loss, trauma, sexual, verbal, emotional and physical abuse. During the recent years, I have increased my knowledge and experience working with children and adolescents with ADHD/ADD and Autism diagnoses.

I am primarily CBT based and incorporate play therapy practices as much as I can, even with teens and adults. Just as no child is the same, I know that no person is the same, therefore, although my primarily approach is CBT focused, I work at ensuring that I am equipped and utilize various techniques and methods of therapy to best meet clients' needs.

I strive to ensure that my clients feel heard, understood, validated, free of judgement and empowered to accomplish the goals they have for themselves in healthy, effective ways.
