Getting to know Monalisa Salazar

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I am based in Los Angeles, CA. I provide telehealth services at this time. I currently work with adults navigating life transitions and draw on connection, community, and re-creating narratives that pave the way forward. My approach My approach to therapy is rooted in intersectionality therapy and humanistic therapy. Every individual comes with a unique background and experience - and your treatment should be tailored as such. I believe that healing is personal and transformative when people feel seen, connected, and understood. I help elicit change by drawing on a mindfulness-based approach, connection, and reflecting on inner strengths formed by your unique cultural and ancestral background. My focus I currently work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship issues, and life transitions. Many of my clients are working through new life roles, depression, and generational trauma. I hold space for my clients by showing unconditional positive regard, acceptance, and creating a judgment-free zone. In our work together, you will feel free to show up as you are - as we work through untwisting old stories and experiences and work towards fostering freedom, compassion, and empowerment. My communication style My communication style is inviting, expressive, empathetic, and collaborative. I don't hold unrealistic expectations of my clients - nor do I expect my clients to have it "together". I meet my clients where they're at and work towards building trust and rapport. My journey to mental healthcare I grew up in an environment where no young child should have witnessed and experienced some of the situations that developed out of poverty. I carried these heavy experiences in my life, not knowing how to manage my feelings.
