Bio
Welcome! My name is Elizabeth Salazar. I’m a first-generation college student majoring in social work with a minor in psychology. I come from a family deeply affected by untreated mental illness, addiction, and trauma —and I’ve made it my mission to break those generational cycles. Becoming a therapist isn’t just a career choice for me; it’s a calling. I want to help people feel seen, supported, and safe— especially those who grew up like me, feeling like they had to survive alone. I’m building the life I once needed, and I’m determined to use my education to create change not just for myself, but for my family, my community, and the next generation.
