Renee Salinas

Behind every individual is a story shaped by relationships, family experiences, personal challenges, and professional aspirations. I believe understanding these connections is the foundation for meaningful change.

My professional journey offers a unique perspective, combining clinical experience in mental health since 2017 with more than 16 years in corporate risk management, including serving as an Executive Underwriter. These experiences have deepened my understanding of family and relational dynamics, leadership pressures, workplace challenges, career transitions, and the importance of balancing professional success with personal well-being.

My clinical work focuses on helping adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigate relationship challenges, family conflict, anxiety, life transitions, and emotional well-being. I also support professionals experiencing workplace stress, burnout, career uncertainty, and the complexities of balancing career and family responsibilities. I welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds, including neurotypical and neurodivergent clients.

I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of Houston and my master’s degree from Houston Graduate School of Theology. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Play Therapy, and Art Therapy, tailored to each client’s unique needs.

I believe therapy should be a collaborative experience grounded in trust, authenticity, and compassion. My style is warm, practical, and solution-oriented, helping clients develop greater self-awareness, strengthen relationships, and build the confidence to navigate life’s challenges.

Whether you’re seeking healthier family relationships, personal growth, or greater balance between your professional and personal life, my goal is to help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, practical, and tailored to the individual. I believe meaningful progress comes from understanding not only what you’re experiencing, but also the patterns, relationships, environments, and expectations influencing your well-being.

Drawing from my clinical training and extensive corporate leadership experience, I offer a unique perspective for clients navigating professional stress, career transitions, burnout, relationship challenges, and personal growth.

Together, we’ll identify your goals, explore obstacles, develop effective coping strategies, and build the confidence and skills needed to create meaningful change. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including CBT, EFT, and Solution-Focused Therapy, while recognizing that each person’s journey requires individualized care.

My style is warm, direct, supportive, and solution-oriented. I believe therapy should provide a space where you feel heard and understood while also empowering you with practical tools to navigate life’s challenges.

As your therapist, I will provide a space for you that is free of judgment, where conversations are confidential, and I am ready to meet you where ever you may be on your journey. Our first session is less pressure on you and more on me, because you also have to see if I’m a good fit for you. Do you like the atmosphere in the office? My communication and therapy style? Do you feel comfortable? Do you feel judged or do you feel seen? There is a lot that gets unpacked in the first session, and it helps us layout the map for future sessions.
