Clinical Therapist, Lisa Salazar, MA, LMFT, LPC

Hello. Thanks for stopping by to learn more about me to decide if I would be a good fit for you.  

I have been a therapist for 17 years, and have worked in hospitals, schools, community clinics, and in the non-profit sector.  

I graduated from the University of Houston-Clear Lake with my Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy.  I graduated with top honors and was listed in Who's Who Among Universities and Colleges, received an honor in Psi Chi, and received the Outstanding Masters Student Award among other marriage and family therapy students, in the state of Texas.  

I completed a year internship at UTMB-Galveston, and 2 years post-graduate work at Memorial Hermann Hospital and Harris County Hospital District.   

I am currently in the doctoral program for Marriage and Family Therapy at Loma Linda University.

I have been in private practice for over 10 years.  I am double board certified as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor.  

I am a Clinical Member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapists.  I am also a Founding Member and serve on the Education Committee for the Texas Association for Marriage and Family Therapists.  Currently, I am the President-Elect for Texas Student Association for Marriage and Family Therapists. 

I work with females of all ages (above 17 years old), who are highly motivated for change and want to have  better management of stress, healthier relationships, improved self-care, and balance in their lives.  

I am an integrative therapist, which means that I incorporate different forms of therapy models, based on the needs of each client, and also like to utilize other therapeutic professionals who can contribute to the Bio-Psycho-Social-Wellness Model.  

Because I do not believe we are cookie cutter, I don't try to fit the client into a specific therapeutic model.  Rather, I adjust the therapy to the needs of the client.  It is important to be that each client feel supported, encouraged, and empowered.  I also provide the opportunity to learn new skills that you can apply to other areas of your life.  

I tend to use solution focused therapy, narrative therapy, mindfulness training, cognitive behavioral therapy, art therapy, and more.  

Whether you are wanting to work on your own personal goals or needing help to overcome past hurts, therapy can certainly help you to identify and unblock barriers that prevent you from achieving peace, balance, and emotional well-being.  

When I am not working or studying, I enjoy spending time with my family, dogs, and reading.  I have been married for 27 years, have 3 children ( 2 of whom are in college).  I also love Starbucks and Boba tea.  

I look forward to working with you soon.  

Be well,

Lisa Salazar, MA, LMF,T LPC,
