Beth (Burns) Salter, LPC, LCAS
Therapist, Clinical Director
You are the expert on your life, therefore I use a collaborative approach to therapy driven by your input. Together we will develop a treatment plan to give you the tools and skills to achieve your optimal life satisfaction and emotional wellness in a caring non-judgmental environment. My counseling experience spans all ages, for individual, couples, family and group therapy. I provide comprehensive clinical assessments, substance abuse and ADHD assessments. I have treated a range of symptoms, including adjustment disorders, oppositional defiant disorder, ADHD, PTSD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, personality disorder, and substance use disorders.
Using many theoretical approaches I help you achieve your goals including CBT, recovery model, motivational interviewing, DBT and TF-CBT therapy. My training in TF-CBT allows me to more effectively treat physical, sexual and emotional abuse in all ages.
My groups are all classroom style to not put anyone on the spot in front of others. This puts you in charge of how much or how little you share in group. The groups are designed to help you gain the maximum skills and tools, even if you share minimally.

I truly believe that we all possess the strength to overcome the issues that life throws us. Sometimes we just need additional training and assistance from others to help us overcome life’s obstacles. In our counseling relationship, we will work together to create a genuine relationship in which you feel heard and motivated to achieve your goals. I strive to create a non-judgmental and open therapeutic space for everyone that I work with. Throughout my time as a counselor, I have been able to gain experience working with those dealing with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief and loss, substance misuse, stress management, time management, ADHD, trauma, and adjustment issues.
I primarily work with individuals from a foundation of Person-Centered and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approaches. However, I also utilize a variety of other techniques that include crisis framework, mindfulness exercises, Grief and Loss theories, Motivational Interviewing, Reality Therapy, role plays, and a variety of CBT techniques. I offer a flexible approach that can be adjusted to meet the needs of each client I work with.
Taking the first steps towards counseling can be overwhelming and unnerving. I admire the bravery that it takes to begin the counseling process and will treat you and your emotions with great care and respect. I look forward to meeting you and aiding you in your pursuit for personal growth.
