Yes, you are seeking help because you want to feel better, plain and simple.

For over twenty years, I have worked as a therapist with persons that have suffered from different types of traumatic experiences.  Most of these individuals have developed Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).   Through the years, I have received training in different approaches to help individuals deal with the aftermath of such traumatic events.  Among the approaches and techniques I use are Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT),  Insight Mindfulness, Polyvagal Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Imagery Rehearsal Therapy (IRT),  Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT, also known as "tapping"),  Art Therapy, and Gestalt Therapy. I am also a Reiki practicioner.

In addition, I do evaluations for immigration purposes.  I have written clinical reports for clients eligible for U visas since this visa became available for victims of crime.  I also have experience conducting evaluations in other types of immigration matters: asylum, trafficking, and I-601 and I-601A waivers of inadmissibility.

As a practical, interactive, energy-focused therapist, my treatment approach centers on providing support and tools to help individuals resolve current problems and change long-standing behavioral patterns on their own. With great sensitivity and understanding, I help my clients to find solutions to a wide range of life challenges and psychological issues.

We will work together to help you build on your strengths to identify and achieve your life goals and, of course, TO FEEL BETTER!

Feel free to contact me at any time to find out more about my style and the different approaches I use.

Sincerely Yours,
Xiomara Salgado, MA, LCPC
