Daniel Slavin
Marriage and Family Therapist
I work with eating concerns as expressions of deeper emotional and relational struggles rather than just behaviors to control. Therapy focuses on increasing self-understanding, reducing shame, and developing a healthier and more compassionate relationship with food and the body.

Josie Munroe, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist
When you're dealing with an eating disorder, chronic dieting, or just a stressful relationship with food, it can feel like you're swinging between strict control and total chaos. It’s exhausting. But it CAN change. Your body doesn’t have to be your battleground.

Salinas is the county seat of Monterey County and the birthplace of John Steinbeck, a city with a majority Latino population deeply rooted in the agricultural economy of the Salinas Valley, and a mental health landscape shaped by the significant challenges of agricultural labor, immigration stress, gang violence in some neighborhoods, and limited access to culturally and linguistically appropriate care. Spanish-language therapy is essential here, and the demand for bilingual practitioners who understand the specific stressors of farmworker and immigrant community life significantly outpaces supply. Natividad Medical Center, a county-run hospital, provides some behavioral health services, and community health organizations supplement what is a relatively limited private therapy sector. Common therapy concerns include trauma, family separation stress, anxiety, depression, and the intergenerational challenges faced by a community navigating the intersection of a demanding agricultural economy and evolving cultural identity.
