“We can work together to empower you.”

I offer virtual therapy for adults across Texas and in-person for the Coastal Bend.

You deserve better than an average therapist, I’m here to help you figure out all the pieces and strengthen your inner wellness.

You don’t have to have to do it alone - I got you.

While you’re trying to navigate mental wellness, identity, and systemic oppression, I offer a space for men, women, and all identities seeking healing and a path to resilience and success, whatever you define that to be.

What Therapy With Me Looks Like

I will work to shift therapy to fit you, not put you into a mold of what someone says therapy is “supposed” to be.

I teach people how to be therapists; I can help you figure out which pieces work best for you and your life.

I focus sessions on listening to you as a whole person including your cultural story, systemic oppressions, and how you can reengage with your personal cultural healing practices as YOU define them to be.

No topic or concern is off limits; come to sessions as you are to process what YOU want to process.

My Therapy Approaches

  • Relational Cultural Therapy (RCT)

  • Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

  • CBT for Anxiety

  • Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)

  • Offers EMDR sessions

  • Trained in Perinatal Mental Health

I have over ten years’ experience in providing therapy, crisis services, community mental health, college counseling, and suicide intervention training services. I focus my therapeutic work in three general areas of the counseling field: teaching, healing, and community wellness.

About Me:

My name is Dr. Ana Salazar but please call me “Dr. Ana”. I am a Latina, an anti-racist Counselor, a mother, counselor educator, LGBTQIA+ advocate, and mom to fur-babies.

I believe in the power of healing & therapy so much I am not afraid to share that I’ve done my own therapy as a client and I’ve also been in couples’ therapy.

Obviously, some topics are off limits like my kid and what I went to therapy for, but if it’s important for you to feel safe in our work together, I’ll answer questions about myself, my beliefs, and my work.

My friends think I’m funny, but usually I’m just a GenX speaking truth. I’m not great at social media even though I use it. (@dr.ana.lpcs) I read way too much; I can absolutely devour a huge novel in a long weekend. I don’t understand the hype around “romantasy” but maybe because I love fantasy & science fiction? (Octavia Butler, Robert Jordan, etc.).

I also know it’s bad for my energy and for survivors, so I’m weeding out my crime podcasts and documentaries because I was obsessed (and not sleeping!) I still enjoy stories of survival, however.

I am also proud to be a first generation college graduate, joining the 1% of Latinas in the United States to have a Ph.D.
