About Me:
My name is Dr. Ana Salazar but please call me “Dr. Ana”. I am a Latina, an anti-racist Counselor, a mother, counselor educator, and mom to fur-babies. I am also proud to be a first generation college graduate, joining the 1% of Latinas in the United States to have a Ph.D.
I have over ten years’ experience in providing therapy, crisis services, community mental health, college counseling, and suicide intervention training services. I focus my therapeutic work in three general areas of the counseling field: teaching, healing, and community wellness.
