Kristian Salazar

Therapist

Virtual • New Mexico


I work with adults who grew up with emotionally immature or emotionally unavailable parents. Many come in feeling lonely, empty, or misunderstood, often stuck in people‐pleasing, low self‐esteem, anxiety, or depression, and unsure of who they are or how to form lasting emotional connections. I also support clients facing work stress, major life transitions, and grief. Together, we slow things down, build insight, strengthen identity and boundaries, and develop skills for emotional regulation and healthier relationships so clients feel more grounded, confident, and connected.

Michelle Kirn

Michelle Kirn

Therapist

Virtual • New Mexico


Hi, I’m Michelle — a therapist who believes healing happens through connection, understanding, and a touch of humor along the way. I grew up in Rochester, New York, so you’ll notice a bit of that East Coast directness in my style — I say what I mean, and I care deeply about helping you get to the heart of what’s really going on.

I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Western New Mexico University, where I discovered my passion for helping people heal and grow through life’s toughest challenges. I love working with individuals who have faced trauma, live with chronic health problems, or struggle with anger and other overwhelming emotions.

My own path to becoming a therapist began with my personal experience living with chronic health issues — so when I offer empathy, it’s not just professional, it’s personal. I’m an engaged, hands-on therapist who takes you and your situation seriously. Together, we’ll unpack what’s hard, find practical ways to cope, and reconnect you with your strength, balance, and a sense of calm.

You've been carrying something heavy — maybe for a while now. It might be anxiety that follows you everywhere, grief that doesn't seem to lift, chronic pain that touches every part of your day, or just the sense that you're holding it together on the outside while something's unraveling inside. Whatever it is, you don't have to keep doing this alone. I'm Jesse, and for over 20 years I've helped people of all ages — from youth to the elderly — find their way through depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, stress, and some of life's most overwhelming changes.
