I'm Salem (they/them), a queer non-binary therapist who loves to give back and support folks in my community so we can all live the lives we deserve to lead. As a person who has lived experience navigating these uncertain times, it can be difficult to find one's center and stability in an unstable society, and I'd love to help you reconnect with your own sense of stability and centeredness.

I take a person-centered approach, meaning I believe you know yourself best, and I'm here as a person to more help humbly guide you in the direction you would like to go. I tend to operate from holistic approaches that help people enhance the mind-body connection, ranging from mindfulness and meditation and somatic based therapies, such as breathwork, qigong, and yoga. (Salem is under the supervision of Lori Mangan, LISW, LCSW-S).
