Founding Psychotherapist

Allinllachu (Hello in Quechua)! My name is Joicy and I am a Queer Quechua Peruvian immigrant. I founded Salgado Psychotherapy to continue amplifying more spaces where healing can happen. As a psychotherapist, by vocation, I am currently licensed to provide therapeutic services in the state of New York.

Community takes the center stage in my life’s work. Whether that is inviting clients to think of their community and cultivate intentional interpersonal relationships or thinking of our collective joy and grief, I am guided and guide people to explore the self in relation to community. It is within our circles that through conversation and exploration we are all able to become aware of patterns created through our life experiences, develop healthy ways to navigate interactions, and have the opportunity to live a stable and healthy life. There is no “one size fits all” approach to therapy. I utilize a combination of practices with a focus on liberation psychology, psychodynamic, humanistic, decolonized approaches to healing. I believe that exploring current situations paired with reflecting on past experiences as well as considering ancestral history, can be a recipe to develop awareness which can drive the process of change in people; if they so desire.

Allyship, privilege, racism, homophobia, colorism, history of colonization on mental health, and intersectionality are some topics that will be brought up and discussed within the therapeutic process.

Joicy speaks Spanish and English.

Psychotherapist

Taking care of your mental health is essential for your well-being and overall health. I work collaboratively with individuals from diverse backgrounds struggling with various challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma and immigration related trauma.
I have over 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults struggling in different walks of life. From a multicultural perspective my approach is client-centered; I believe every individual is different and requires different levels of direction and care. I use psychodynamic, CBT and Mindfulness techniques keeping in mind individual needs of clients. My approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration and respect for an individual’s journey. My role as a psychotherapist is not to choose a path for you but to help you navigate your passageway

Admin Assistant

Psychology holds significant importance for me, rooted in a lifelong fascination with interpersonal dynamics. From an early age, I’ve been drawn to the art of listening, whether it’s absorbing stories of daily life, exploring passions, or offering a supportive ear during challenging times. My aspiration to pursue a career as a therapist stems from a deep-seated desire to facilitate meaningful connections and guide individuals through their struggles toward personal growth and achievement of their aspirations. My motivation for being a part of Salgado Psychotherapy extends beyond their mission of aiding individuals in overcoming challenges and achieving their objectives. I am particularly drawn to their emphasis on understanding and honoring the cultural and ancestral backgrounds of their clients.
