Tanya Salazar, LPC(She/Her/Hers)

Life can feel like walking a tightrope balancing pressures, expectations, and the quiet shame we’ve been taught to carry alone. There is no “right way” to move through it all. No perfect formula for balance. You are the alchemist of your own life; the truth of who you are and how you want to lead your life already lives within you

As an Art Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor, I offer a gentle, curious space where you don’t have to figure everything out. My approach is rooted in a studio-based model that integrates art psychotherapy to support self-discovery, resilience, and deeper understanding. I specialize in fostering unapologetic emotional expression through creative processes in individual and group settings with children, adolescents, and adults. Through an eclectic and collaborative lens, I help you examine and rebuild trust in your own footing crafting a net strong enough to hold you when the line feels too thin to walk alone.

Art therapy holds a unique power to speak when words fall short. Art-making allows us to express what has been buried, blurred, or hard to name. Through creative processes, we weave together body awareness, emotional exploration, and imaginative play to uncover internal strengths and illuminate protective emotions that rarely get center stage. There is no age limit, artistic skill, or “right way” to create here. Together, we can paint, draw, scribble, sculpt or even destroy as an act of reclaiming agency. I am devoted to nurturing your inner artist with compassion, while gently tending to your inner critic.
