Justin Salcedo, LPC

Justin Salcedo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with seven years of clinical experience. He earned a master’s degree in clinical psychology from Sam Houston State University and has worked across a range of settings, including university counseling, a psychiatric hospital, treatment for severe substance abuse with co-occurring mental health concerns, university teaching and supervision of other therapists, and individual practice.

He offers warm, non-judgmental support and emphasizes empowering people to make their own choices and pursue values-based living. Justin draws on evidence-based methods to identify the underlying processes contributing to distress and then tailors treatment collaboratively to each person’s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) informs much of his work alongside cognitive behavioral approaches and client-centered principles to help clients gain mental space from distressing thoughts and build actions aligned with personal values.

Justin has provided psychotherapy for a wide range of concerns, including depression, suicidal thinking, anxiety, traumatic stress, substance use and other addictions, psychotic and mood disorders, grief, loneliness, and meaning-related struggles. He also works with issues such as stress, relationship and family difficulties, bipolar disorder, ADHD, self-esteem, career transitions, attachment and abandonment concerns, and gender dysphoria. Throughout treatment he prioritizes the therapeutic relationship as the central factor in long-term progress and partners with people to create a meaningful, purposeful direction for their lives.
