My primary goals are to help you alleviate suffering and live meaningfully.

I graduated with a master’s degree in clinical psychology from Sam Houston State University. I have counseled students in a university setting, treated patients in a psychiatric hospital, worked with patients with severe substance abuse issues and co-occurring mental health issues, taught at the university level and supervised other therapists, and counseled individually in private practice.

Choosing the counselor that fits your child's needs is crucial to their success.

I've worked with Justin for some time now and I feel he has helped me to work through some major milestones and changes in my life. I always feel supported during our sessions and I carry the lessons gained throughout my days.

Justin is very knowledgeable, caring, and interactive. He asks questions that really makes you think and he listens. He guides the conversation in a way that benefits you and helps you better understand yourself and your situations.

Justin has helped me recognize the deeper issues I have been struggling with and learning new ways to overcome them.

Wow. This is the therapy I have been wanting for. I’m so thankful I found Justin to help me along. He really cares and is very interested in helping me.

I am really lucky to have Justin as my therapist. I write to him so much about my everyday life in solitude, and dating problems, family problems and traumas, and he goes through all the messages and really helps me even with the replies. And after every video session, I feel quite relieved and see progress and how I am slowly becoming a stronger and wiser human being, who doesn’t need to repress as much family pain anymore. Because there is someone who knows what he’s doing to help me deal with the problems we all have sometimes. And Justin helps me to motivate me to work towards my life goals. Personal, and career wise. After almost 5 years of swirling in nothingness, like a fly without a head, I finally feel like there is lots to achieve and with baby steps, will be achieved with less stress. Thank you, Justin!

Before coming into therapy, I was super scared to talk with a new person, share and open up to them. When I started my first therapy session with Mr. Justin Salcedo everything changed. He is incredibly caring, supportive, creative, and listens to you without any judgment. He sees and decyphers every complicated situation there is. He is the one and the only person that I open up to while feeling safe, feeling that he cares and tries his very best to help me. I am proud to have you, Mr. Salcedo, thank you for giving your all to help me, I really appreciate you

It was evident only after one session how valuable Justin was for me. I was able to immediately get in better spirits, open up like i've never done so before, and feel a level of comfort that made counseling not feel so scary or overwhelming. Justin has a calming tone, presence and it helps put your mind at ease. I would 10/10 recommend him to anyone and everyone I know!

After having gone though a few therapists in person and on here on teen counseling, I can say that Justin is the one that I've clicked with best & have had the most results with. I feel genuinely heard, and understood, not brushed off or only half heard. I tend to go on long tangents, but he reads it all and listens carefully, offering me valuable insights and strategic exercises which challenge me and help me grow. He is clearly very skilled and knowledgeable. Just as importantly, he is markedly sympathetic and attentive. With a sense of humor.

Also - it's awesome to have someone that can type at a quick pace that keeps up with mine when we do live chats!

My child didn't respond well to the 1st Councillor she had and was assigned Justin while we looked through and decided who to go with (was looking at female councillors) but Justin was so helpful and my child was happy and responded really well to the techniques and care that was given.
Thank you so much Justin, your amazing, my child is in a much better place now.

Written on Nov 01, 2020 after therapy with Justin for 2 months on issues concerning relationship

We are sooooo grateful we found Justin and teencounseling.com! Justin was incredibly responsive, comforting, and professional. We have seen a counselor before, but don’t feel we got as much out of it as we did with Justin. He was very easy to talk to, patient, and provided multiple outlooks/materials/ideas for us to implement. We would recommend Justin to anyone!

Justin has been a great counsellor and I really enjoyed my sessions with him. He is a great listener, non-judgmental, caring, and definitely tries his best to help as best he can, especially through mindfulness techniques, which is one of his expertise. I definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking to start the therapy process!

He is helping improve all aspects of my life from my mental well being to my physical well being. Justin is caring, compassion, and intelligent. I would strongly recommend him to anyone seeking counseling.
