Welcome to Salako Psychiatry! My first and only priority from the moment you walk through the door is YOU.

The transition from high school to college can be a struggle for many students, who may experience feelings of anxiety, boundaries, and guilt during this time. Anxiety can manifest itself in a variety of different ways, such as people-pleasing behaviors, fear, perfectionism, and a general feeling of dissatisfaction.

Like most therapists, I have worked in many areas while gaining vast experience in crisis stabilization, fore...

This journey isn't about reliving your worst memories, it's about ...
