Helianis Quijada Salazar - LCSW

Bilingual Therapist

Welcome!

My name is Helianis Quijada Salazar and my pronouns are she/her/hers. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York City. I provide virtual therapy to adolescents, adults, and couples.

About Me

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides therapy from a trauma-centered lens to adolescents, adults, and couples. My experience includes working with trauma, gender-based violence, relationships, gender identity, LGBTQ, sexual abuse, motherhood, and immigration.

I believe in a collaborative and holistic approach where we create safe space for you to explore who you are and who you want to be. I work with individuals to address the stressors they face while also exploring where they might want to go in the future. I approach sessions with a lens of curiosity and compassion. My can be described as a combination of psychodynamic and a relational perspective. By slowing down and taking the time to recognize our patterns, which ones we like and which one we dislike, we can begin to move towards improving our well-being.
