I am Terilynn Salas, a Doctor of Social Work with a clinical license from Hawaii. I have over 10 years of experience as a professional counselor and specialize in trauma recovery. My therapeutic approach primarily operates from psychodynamic therapy which is useful in exploring internal unresolved conflicts contributing to emotional and relationship challenges, as well as patterns of self-destructive behaviors that may interfere with one's life satisfaction. I've spent a lot of time helping clients with stress and anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, & coping with grief and loss.

At Hawaii Depression Clinic - a TMS and therapy clinic - we believe that everyone deserves to live a happy, healthy life, and we're committed to helping individuals struggling with depression achieve that goal. If you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed by your depression symptoms, we're here to help. Our team of experienced clinicians and staff are passionate about working with motivated individuals who are ready to take control of their mental health. We specialize in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy, a cutting-edge treatment that has been shown to be highly effective in treating depression. We pair TMS with time-limited psychotherapy, meaning that you'll work with a therapist for a set number of sessions, and during that time you'll learn strategies to help manage your depression symptoms. This approach can be really helpful because it gives you a clear idea of what to expect, and it can help you feel more in control of your treatment. If you're looking for a supportive and compassionate team to help you on your journey to recovery, we'd love to work with you. Together, we can help you find relief from your depression symptoms and start living the life you deserve.

I believe everyone has the strength within them to reach their goals and make the life changes they desire. Learning and developing healthy coping skills and strategies can have a positive impact on how life challenges are experienced and how situations are handled.

“Give yourself the same care and attention that you give others and watch yourself bloom.” – The Sprouting Sunflower We often focus our energies on taking care of others and everything around us that we forget to take care of ourselves. Then we become overwhelmed, stressed, and feel many mixed emotions causing us to remain stuck in our patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaviors. Feeling stuck can significantly impact our relationship with others and with ourselves that leads to unhealthy ways of coping and feeling that everything might be "too much".

Therapy can be difficult, it requires exposure of thoughts and feelings that you spent a lot of time hiding. It takes courage and self-awareness to start therapy. Anyone reaching out to start that process deserves somebody ready to listen. The best therapy is when a person is ready to make changes in their life. A lot of external change can happen when you make internal changes – by addressing deeply held beliefs and challenging assumptions often accepted as true. I particularly want to be a supportive presence to anyone in the LGBTQ+ community. I work hard to make sure my clients feel safe and empowered in expressing themselves.
