hey there momma...

My name is Dr. Desiree Saleh
Therapist for Moms with reproductive and postpartum struggles Dr. Desiree Saleh
I'm so glad you're here....

Your journey to and through motherhood may be filled with peaks and valleys. I am here to provide you with expert support and compassion as you navigate the challenges associated with your reproductive, postpartum, or parenting experience.

and if you're not a momma...
I am still here to walk with you through:

relationship difficulties, life transitions, trauma recovery, anxiety, self- esteem struggles, grief & loss, and more...

I have gone to Desiree for therapy for about 3 years now. Incredible would be an understatement of how amazing of a therapist she is. Desiree truly cares for you and creates an environment that makes you feel comfortable, not judged, and safe. She is an amazing listener and is very attentive in every session. I started going to Desiree at the age of 18 as someone who felt lost and disconnected from myself and from my family. I was overwhelmed and felt stuck in life. Desiree was the first person who made me feel heard and seen. She has always given me the best advice and has guided me to stay on track with the best version of myself with the reminder of not putting too much pressure on myself. If you are looking for someone to truly understand you as a woman, or need help because you feel overwhelmed in life, Desiree is the best therapist out there.
