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 in private practice since 2006.

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, inducted into the academic honor society: Psi Chi, and received the Outstanding Masters Student Award amongst other marriage and family therapy students throughout the State of Texas.  

I completed a one year internship at UTMB-Galveston, and two years post-graduate work at Memorial Hermann Hospital-Medical Center in the Neuroscience and Stroke Units,  and the emergency room at Ben Taub and community clinics within the Harris County Hospital District.   

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

 I am double board certified as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor, and am currently working on my supervision licenses for LMFT and LPC.  

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 the Texas Student Association for Marriage and Family Therapists. 

I work with young adults and women, who are highly motivated for change and want to better manage stress, have healthier relationships, improved self-care, and balance.  

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 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 Experiential Therapy, using a biopsychosocial-spiritual lens.

Whether you are wanting to work on your own personal goals or needing help to overcome past hurts, therapy can certainly help  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, a pet bunny, and reading.  I have been married for 27 years, have 3 children ( 2 of whom are in college).  I also love coffee and Boba tea.  

I look forward to working with you soon.  

Be well,

Lisa Salazar, MA, LMF,T LPC,
