Helianis Quijada Salazar, LCSW, PMH-C

Welcome!

My name is Helianis Quijada Salazar (she/her/hers), and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) offering virtual therapy to adolescents, adults, and couples throughout New York.

I provide therapy in both English and Spanish and hold a certification in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C).

My practice is rooted in a trauma-centered, culturally responsive lens that honors each person’s story, strength, and complexity.

My Approach

I believe therapy is a collaborative and holistic process.

Together, we create a space that feels safe, supportive, and grounded—where you can show up as you are and explore who you’re becoming. I approach our work with curiosity and compassion, helping you slow down and reflect on the emotional patterns, relationships, and life experiences that shape you.

My style blends psychodynamic and relational perspectives, allowing us to explore the past while staying connected to the present. Whether you're working through a difficult transition, navigating identity, or simply feeling stuck, our work can help you move toward more clarity, connection, and emotional well-being.
