Hi, I'm Oksana Salaam
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I currently provide telehealth services to individuals residing anywhere in Florida, offering flexibility, comfort, and accessibility for every client I serve.
My goal is to create a supportive space where clients feel understood, empowered, and truly seen.
Integrative & Tailored to You
My therapeutic approach is integrative — meaning I tailor each session to the unique needs of the individual in front of me. There's no one-size-fits-all here.
I draw from several evidence-based modalities to create a personalized experience that fits your personality, your goals, your rhythms, and your needs. Every session is intentionally crafted, not scripted.
I Work With
- Adolescents
- Young Adults
- Adults
- Seniors
Supporting clients through life transitions, emotional challenges, and personal growth.
Why I Created Mental Chec✓
Mental Chec began as a small advocacy platform on Instagram — created from a deep desire to educate, uplift, and normalize conversations around mental health. I wanted to show the many different ways mental health can look and feel, and to give people a language for what they're experiencing.
Even in those early days, I knew Mental Chec was meant to grow into something bigger.
Today, Mental Chec is a space where individuals can feel seen, heard, and validated — no matter what they are navigating. In a world where it's easy to disconnect, shut down, or go through the motions, Mental Chec exists to remind people to stay aware of their emotional, mental, and physical state.
It's about learning yourself, understanding your needs, and embracing the importance of checking in with your inner world. My hope is that this space continues to support people in staying grounded, connected, and emotionally present.
Chec✓ In, Not Out
"Chec in, not out" is more than a slogan — it's a grounding philosophy. It represents the intentional act of pausing, tuning into yourself, and acknowledging your emotional, mental, and physical state.
In a world where stress, expectations, and daily demands can push people into autopilot, it's easy to mentally check out and disconnect from how you truly feel.
Chec in, not out encourages you to stay present. It invites you to explore what's happening within you with honesty and compassion, rather than avoiding or suppressing it. When you chec in, you give yourself permission to understand your emotions, recognize your needs, and respond from a place of clarity and awareness.
This philosophy is at the heart of Mental Chec. It's a reminder that your inner world matters — and staying connected to yourself is the first step toward healing, growth, and emotional well-being.
What Makes Working With Me Different
Warm, Direct, and Real
I'm not the type of therapist who just nods along. I create a warm space where you feel safe opening up, but I'm also direct when it matters. If there's something important to look at, we'll go there — together.
Collaborative Approach
Therapy with me is a team effort. You bring your story; I bring tools, insight, and experience. We work side by side, checking in at every step, making sure the process actually feels meaningful for you.
Integrative & Tailored
I use an integrative approach, pulling from different therapeutic modalities to fit you — your personality, your goals, your rhythms, and your needs. Every session is intentionally crafted, not scripted.
A Space You Can Feel In
Mental Chec is built on the belief that people deserve to feel seen, heard, and understood. You're not just another appointment — you're a whole person with a story worth honoring.
