I am here to help you overcome whatever storms and its challenges that have left you thinking or feeling that you just can't overcome. Together, we can arrive at healing and coping with things that may never change, yet with the right approach, we can significantly learn to best cope and manage how they affect our life.

I have been blessed to learn and implement various forms of therapy from the most traditional modalities such as C.B.T./REBT/Mindful Training/Solution Focus Therapies to E.M.D.R. for trauma. As an Ordained Minister, my training has been one that has been Theological in doctrine, and Theological in the practice of spiritual warfare and a spirit filled approach.

I’ve had reverent Salazar for almost two years. I know I can talk to him about everything. Family life and also coping with losing my dad. I’m thankful he’s in my life. May he help more people in this site.

Samuel is an extremely smart man and makes me feel like he actually cares about me and my mental health. He goes the extra mile in finding me local groups and clinics and refers me books to read. I still have a long way to go but im glad its with him. Thank you Sam

Rev Salazar has been a total blessing to my life and to the state of my mental health. He is well versed in many methods and practices, yet relies on the Spirit to guide him into the right practice at the right time. He led me through breathing exercises that helped to calm my intense anxiety when processing childhood trauma. He combined the breath exercises/clinical approach with Scripture to help the truth of God sink in during that moment. He's walked with me in a number of issues, and expresses his care every single time. Rev Salazar was a great match for me in this season of therapy for me, and I am so thankful.

I feel very blessed to have found BetterHelp at the right moment while going through a challenging life change. I was matched with Rev. Samuel who I have found to be both knowledgable and encouraging. I feel much more confident in this season of life and I feel listened to. I would highly recommend Rev. Samuel to anyone!
