Shayan Salar, LCSW

I am a holistic psychotherapist who mostly collaborates with BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, Generation Z, Millennials, college students, and young professionals seeking trauma & harm reduction informed care in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Florida.
I see myself as someone dedicated to understanding the intricacies of human suffering and resiliency, the art of relating, and various evidence-based healing modalities. I value offering flexibility in therapy and honoring the unique motivations, values, and survival physiology of every person and group I encounter.
It's my mission to bring a high level of intentionality, humility, and authenticity to this work due to having personally and professionally experienced a variety of mental health systems implicitly cause harm in their approaches.
