My name is Sal Villarreal, and I am deeply committed to providing a safe and inclusive space for individuals from diverse backgrounds to embark on their healing journey. As a therapist, I understand the unique challenges that arise when addressing issues related to LGBTQ+ identity, cultural heritage, and the impact of trauma and substance use on one's well-being.

I believe that every person has a natural drive towards growth and healing. It's what brought you to this page! I’m passionate about helping people to understand their emotions and reconnect with and trust their bodies again. I believe that emotions are this incredible built-in compass to help us navigate life in a way that is meaningful and in alignment with our truest selves. However, we have learned to disconnect from our emotions due to trauma, various cultural and familial messages around emotions, and because some emotions are too overwhelming to do alone so we disconnect to survive. Wherever you are at, there is hope.

Life‘s unexpected twists and turns can often make our journey feel lonely and empty. Sometimes we need someone to take the journey with us. To hear us out. And to encourage us in taking the steps we know we need to take. Someone who will be there to walk us through to finding freedom in whatever our circumstances may be.

My view on therapy is very simple, though not always easy: 'through relationships, we heal’. Many of the barriers that inhibit healthy relationships include negative self-talk, fear of judgement, and our need to maintain a sense of control, especially when we are deeply hurt or wounded. Trauma does not discriminate and it does not wait for an opportune time to present, but we can make sense of it and heal old wounds that hold us back from really connecting with those we love.

First, I want to thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I focus on creating an emotionally safe place. Safe enough to be vulnerable and lean into discomfort. Safe enough to create change that may be desired or needed. My style is direct, compassionate, and caring. When appropriate, I use humor, transparency, and my own quirky personality to help create a safe environment and vulnerability. It is the balance of being client-centered (meeting clients where they’re at) and encouraging change (which sometimes includes calling out BS or respectfully challenging when needed). Im currently offering in-person and telehealth.

Seeking a therapist can be an unsettling endeavor. I can provide a free 10-minute phone consultation to help you determine whether or not we are a good fit. As your therapist, I bring a whole-person approach to healing the past and maximizing the present. My approach is an eclectic one and with over 30 years counseling experience, my "toolbox" is "well-stocked". We all have our own intuitive wisdom to guide us but we may need help in learning how to hear and honor these messages. I am confident that we can work collaboratively to create the life that you desire.

Are you missing a sense of connection and fulfillment in your relationships? Do you find it difficult to shut off the worry and stay in the present? Is the stress of being a high achiever putting a damper on your mood and personal life? Do you recognize past traumas lingering in your present? Your struggles are real and so is hope. Take heart in knowing that I have helped many before you to successfully resolve these issues and live a more meaningful life. A better future awaits you.

Unresolved relational issues. Past trauma that has begun affecting your normal routine. Marriage is going through a hard time. Family life is full of stress and conflict. Anxiety keeps growing and becoming more intense. These are all part of being human and being in relationship, and it’s OK to ask for help in the midst of them.

Are you wanting to stop the cycle of getting involved in unhealthy relationships? I can help work through that and increase your self-esteem. Are you feeling alone and scared to take that next step, but know that you need to? I can walk with you, at your pace, to achieve the goals you want. I enjoy working together to help you become the best version of you possible.

My practice is client-centered, honest, and empathetic to my client's concerns. Trust is the major factor that enables clients to talk about what is at the heart of their problems, and we spend the time necessary to develop that trust. I view the therapeutic relationship as collaboration with my client on a unique journey towards self-enhancement, wellness, and goal attainment. I want to help empower you to overcome your personal obstacles with a compassionate and respectful approach in a safe place where you can share and build self-awareness as we work together to change.

My clients are most often seeking help with their relationship: with themselves, others, the past, or the world in general. For over 15 years I have worked alongside people seeking to understand, process, and change themselves and their relationship to their lives. My training is primarily in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I am also trained in EMDR therapy, a trauma-focused therapy.
