Meet Dyvette Nori Salinas, MA, LPC

Hello, and welcome. I'm Dyvette Nori Salinas, a Licensed Professional Counselor proudly serving children, adolescents and adults throughout Texas. As a bilingual therapist born and raised in the Rio Grande Valley, I understand the importance of culturally responsive care and strive to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley in 2016 and went on to pursue my Master of Arts in Counseling with a specialization in Clinical Mental Health at Our Lady of the Lake University, graduating in 2021. Since becoming a licensed therapist in 2022, I have had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, and adults across a variety of settings, including community mental health and programs serving immigrant and underserved populations.

Throughout my career, I have supported individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, emotional and behavioral challenges, relationship concerns, and stress. These experiences have reinforced my belief that healing is not one-size-fits-all. Every person brings a unique story, and therapy should be tailored to meet their individual needs and goals.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and individualized. I draw from evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions. When working with children, I incorporate developmentally appropriate and play-based interventions to help them express emotions, strengthen coping skills, and build confidence in a safe and engaging environment.

I founded Salinas Counseling & Wellness, PLLC with the vision of creating a welcoming and supportive environment where individuals feel empowered to heal, grow, and thrive. I believe therapy should be a collaborative process that honors each person's experiences, values, and strengths. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor treatment to the unique needs of each client and work alongside them to foster resilience, self-awareness, and meaningful change.

Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, or simply seeking personal growth, my goal is to provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported. It is truly an honor to walk alongside my clients on their journey toward healing, balance, and lasting well-being.
