If you are here looking for ways to have a better connection with yourself and others and find yourself thinking:

*What do I do now"?

(Neurodivergent informed therapy, Life stages, Sp. Ed. disabilities advocacy, chronic conditions/illnesses)

"I wish I had someone to talk to about this"

(Relationships, Grief, Communication skills, aging & life stages)

"What is it that makes me feel/believe like this"?

(Understanding yourself, what makes you You)

I can help. I want you to feel better, have a lighter spirit and help you find your personal best ways as we walk on your journey together.

This is what I know:

In my family, we have Neurodivergence, some anxiety, depression, grief, life stages, chronic illnesses and conditions and pain issues.

My belief: You are the Key to your Solutions!

I came to counseling after realizing at age 16 that I was meant to be counselor. Since then, working as a Sp. Ed. teacher and a regular education and Sp. Ed. counselor and in IOP therapy have added up while I persisted to make my dream come true to be an LPC. Yes, dreams do come true!

Personally, I offer experience and life perspective learned from nearly all the eras of our human experience and I hope to share it with my clients.

Therapies and techniques, and plans are customized just for you: Person-Centered, Cognitive - Behavioral, Solution Focused, and Self - Expression and Mindfulness through art and nature. All are holistically for your mind, body and spirit benefit.

Hi, I’m Sasheen, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a unique background in both mental health and nursing. Since 2022, I’ve worked with individuals and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, life transitions, and complex stressors. I believe therapy should feel supportive, collaborative, and tailored to you — not one-size-fits-all.

I earned my Master of Social Work with a concentration in Mental Health and Substance Misuse from University of Texas at Arlington, and I’ve also been a Licensed Vocational Nurse since 2012. With over a decade of healthcare experience, I bring a holistic perspective to therapy — understanding both the emotional and physical aspects of well-being.

Kristian Salazar

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


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.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Amarillo, TX

Finding addiction therapists in Amarillo starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, nicotine dependence, sexual addiction, gambling, and other behavioral concerns. Some therapists use approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction-informed care. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, so it helps to look for a therapist whose listed specialties match the type of support you want.

Amarillo has local counselors, therapists, and rehab-related resources, and virtual therapy can add more options when local appointment times or specialties are limited. Recovery can move in different directions over time — a therapist with a non-judgmental style and experience in addiction care can help you stay connected to support. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios can also show how a therapist describes their approach, experience with addiction, and session structure before you book.

Addiction therapy in Amarillo can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see estimated costs before booking. Headway helps you search for therapists who focus on addiction, review their profiles, check your insurance, and book directly when you’re ready — making it easier to find someone who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and is taking new patients.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
