Jeff is a great marriage and family therapist. We had been having trouble in our marriage for years, and with his dedicated assistance things have definitely improved. We had really lost our friendship and Jeff helped us to find it again. Our communication is much better, and we find time for each other every day. All relationships over time have issues, and he has taught us how to deal with issues when they arise, and not wait until they fester and become real problems. Jeff is honest and direct without blaming; and as a result, we have a stronger relationship than we have had in years. If you are looking for a therapist in the Los Angeles/Orange County area, we highly recommend Jeff.
Jeffrey is a wonderful therapist. He is fair and calls it like it is. He listens and gives good advice. He is also considerate and understanding. I would recommend him to all my friends.
My (now) husband and I began working with Jeff back in 2011 when we were dating and newly living together. We are now married with two young children, and regularly meet with Jeff for tune ups and sessions to fine tune our marriage and maintain our communication/connection. Jeff has helped my husband understand how I process and express myself (as I am the more emotional partner) and our communication skills have grown leaps and bounds since we were first together. Our time with Jeff will only be ending as our family will be moving back to Oregon, and we are heartbroken to be ending our time with him. Jeff is compassionate, experienced, empathetic, supportive and values his clients and their journeys. I remember calling him for the initial session in an emotional/low moment, and he personally took my phone call and simply encouraged me to come in for support, rather than stress about fees and scheduling details. That was a game changer during such a hard time. I should add too that I myself am now a licensed Therapist (LMFT), so I know good therapy when I see it We recommend Jeff to all our married friends and think everyone would benefit from couples work. Jeff has made my husband feel welcome and not judged (two therapists in the room, gah!), but he is also direct and honest. My husband is a definitely mans-man, so therapy wasnt quite his cup of tea, but he knew we needed support. My husband now sings Jeffs praises and tells all of his guy-friends that Jeff is worth his weight in gold and that everyone should go to therapy! If that doesnt tell you how helpful he has been, I dont know what will. Give him a try, hopefully hell be a great fit for you and can give you the support you need.
I have been seeing Jeffrey for almost 3 years, both by myself and also with my husband. I felt very resistant to give therapy a try after not so great experiences many years ago. But meeting with Jeffery has been truly life changing for me. He has helped me work through anxiety and depression and helped me understand why these pop up at different times in your life. Lots of self work, but in an encouraging way. My husband and I also go in together at times to work on communication and the ups and downs that come with marriage. Jeffery has given us so many tools we use on a daily basis to keep our relationship strong. I am so grateful we found Jeffery, he is a truly caring and helpful soul!
Jeffrey Salinas is a fantastic therapist and marriage counselor. My husband and I were experiencing a rocky patch not too long ago and finally decided to give counseling with Jeff a try-- Im so glad we did! Sessions with him made an immediate difference. He gave us assignments and taught us strategies to communicate better and deal with conflict more effectively. He is understanding and sympathetic, while also being very honest and straightforward, which is really valuable. My marriage is much better now, but I still see Jeff because this experience has helped me grow a lot and I want to keep working through some of my own stuff. Ive learned that it can take time to find the right therapist, but once you do, it makes a world of difference. If youre looking for help or need someone to talk to, give Jeff a try, hes terrific!
Jeff has helped simply by giving me the clarity needed to face the fears that ultimately limit me in life. I’m thankful to have met him, highly recommended!! Thank you Jeff!! 🙏🏻
I started working with Jeff in Summer of 2013. At the time, i was getting out of a really bad relationship and was having panic attacks almost every other day. Long story short, I was rapidly reaching rock bottom. Jeff is truly the best therapist that I have ever worked with (and there have been several). He has a wonderful mix of empathy and sympathy, but also holds me accountable (in a kind but productive way) and puts things into words in a way that really resonated with me. I do not do well with my emotions - I am more rational, and he was able to explain my emotions in a rational way so that I could understand them better. While I do not need as much help with my emotions or panic anymore (after many years with Jeff), I still see him 1-2 a month for a check in and to bounce issues that arise from time to time at work or in my personal relationships. His advice is invaluable to me, and I do not even want to know what my life would have looked like if I had not started working with Jeff. I HIGHLY recommend him!!!
