Meet The Therapist

Shayan Salar, LCSW

I am a virtual integrative holistic psychotherapist dedicated to understanding the intricacies of human suffering, the art of relationship, and various healing modalities. I value offering flexibility in therapy and honor the unique qualities of every person and group I encounter.

Bringing the highest level of intentionality, humility, authenticity, and passion to "the work" is important to me due to having personally and professionally experienced a variety of mental health systems implicitly cause harm in their approaches.

The evidence-based interventions I draw upon are chosen based on the unique presentations of those I serve. My therapeutic orientation is grounded in philosophies and approaches from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Psychodynamic, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and harm-reduction.

I'm indifferent to fostering, or reinforcing codependent characteristics within our therapeutic relationship, and rather, I am focused on assisting your development towards self-empowerment, self-determination, practical skills, psychoeducational knowledge, and insights that can assist you on your healing journey.
