“Best psychiatrist I’ve ever had. went through years of treatment with over a dozen different psychiatrists and dr Salazar is the first person that I felt actually listened to me i had all but given up on improving my quality of life until i started with dr Salazar. I could not speak more highly of him. Took time out on his days off to help me through mental health emergencies I had more than once and went out of his way to explain things and help me find the right balance of medication. He was always up to date on research about any medication he prescribed and prescribed off label in circumstances where we couldn’t find a medication that worked as intended with my often complicated medical needs.”

Getting to know Dr. Nicolas Canon Salazar
I was born in Colombia, and the passion for psychiatry has driven my life. I attended medical school at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Bogotá Facultad de Medicina. Following my interest in Transcultural Psychiatry, I worked for the University of Guadalajara in Mexico and attended McGill University in Montreal. I completed my residency in General Psychiatry at the University of Virginia while collaborating with the International Rescue Committee as a mental health provider. I have centered my practice on developing interventions congruent with people’s environments and advocating for parity in the delivery and access to services. I have worked as a general psychiatrist in multiple settings, including outpatient services, correctional facilities, rehabilitation centers, native communities, public health, and emergency services. Through these experiences, I have learned that the path of recovery should be personalized and self-driven. I am fluent in English and Spanish, and I speak French with patience. My areas of professional development include migrant mental health, acute and chronic trauma, PTSD, personality disorders, and LGBTQQI mental health.
