Salome Dineros, Psychologist
Salome Dineros, PsyD, is a licensed psychologist at LifeStance Health who helps adults in California navigate life’s challenges through a supportive, personalized, and evidence-based approach to care. She provides individual, couples, and family therapy to adults and seniors, using techniques grounded in clinical research and tailored to each person’s needs. Whether working with patients facing anxiety, depression, or relational conflict, Dr. Dineros blends empathy and expertise to foster meaningful and lasting change.
Dr. Dineros specializes in helping individuals through later life and midlife transitions, supporting clients as they navigate identity shifts, loss, aging, and evolving roles in family and society. She brings a deep understanding of the emotional and psychological impacts these transitions can bring, using an interpersonal psychotherapy framework enriched by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based practices. Her collaborative style encourages insight, self-empowerment, and resilience.
She is especially passionate about working with women, including those facing complex issues related to trauma, grief, caregiving, and career-life balance. Dr. Dineros also has experience supporting individuals involved in the adoption and foster care system, as well as those with Autism Spectrum Disorders. She integrates a warm, compassionate approach with structured therapeutic techniques to meet the unique needs of each individual or family she serves. In addition to her core areas of focus, she offers support for bipolar disorder, PTSD, and couples issues, with additional expertise across a range of mental health conditions.
Outside of her professional life, Dr. Dineros finds joy in interior design, poetry writing, traveling, hiking, dancing, and exploring the world of sports and horticulture. These personal passions reflect her appreciation for creativity, movement, and connection—values she weaves into her clinical work.
