She doesn't know much regarding other cultures and their upbringings; I'm Asian-American and it kind of felt like a cultural barrier, to try to explain some of my cultures values to her and her asking why it is this or that way. She was quick to adapt, though. She definitely has given me perspectives and suggestions I've never thought of despite my overthinking nature that really helped me cope with some family issues/obligations, depression, and my history of being abused. I think her bluntness can turn some people off, but I don't think she's "quick to judge." She tries to hone in on the issues pretty quickly, and I think it can make people uncomfortable/judged, but she just wants to get to the bottom of it. She was pretty sympathetic with me, which I appreciated.

Agree with the comments saying she is quick to judge and not helpful. I was dealing with relationship and anxiety issues and she basically told me I shouldn't be anxious. I can't help the fact that I have anxiety, I was looking for ways to improve and cope with it. I was also having issues with my parents and she said they were being ridiculous, which I agreed with, but didn't help give me ways to work things out with them. She was not helpful and I moved onto another therapist. Do not recommend.

Helped counter my 9 yr old's school psychologist who insisted, based on five surveys of his teachers, that my boy had ADHD and needed to be put on Adderall asap. You have to accept her style, but when you do, you know you're in expert hands. Others are too sensitive here.

My husband and I saw Dr. Salyer when we were facing a challenging problem. She was very thoughtful and offered excellent observations. We both found her very helpful.

Please do not visit this doctor. I am a terrible experience where she judged me for my depression and said that I had no reason to be depressed because my life seemed fine to her. I also told her that I had been paranoid recently and she scolded me telling me that it was not possible because she worked with paranoid people and I was not one of them. Please be very careful I have spoken to others who have told me terrible things about their experience with her. I hope this helps anyone considering her to find someone truly capable of finding the help that they need.

Agree with those who say she is impatient and quick to judge. I was interested in divorcing my husband and we went to her to get help with when and how to tell our teenaged children. She told me I was selfish and putting my needs and wants above my children's. In other words, I should suffer in a loveless marriage, which was also lacking in intimacy for four years, to keep the facade of an "intact" family. She had no interest in understanding my desire for a divorce. It was just wrong, since he wasn't physically abusive, an addict or lazy. Emotional abuse and lack of love and intimacy meant nothing.

Helped me to understand how our combined family needs to adjust to step children and learn to have more patience with everyone. I like her direct approach to how kids should respect the adults and how they need structure, discipline and no arguing !!
