“Children will develop a coping style based on their attempt to get at least some of their needs met… and will go to almost any length to feel seen and connected” - Bessel Van Der Kolk, M.D.

Do you work with teens and want to help them build a healthier relationship with social media?

Salted offers engaging workshops that help teens understand media trauma—how social media shapes their identity, confidence, relationships, and overall well-being.

With teen anxiety, depression, and disordered eating at record highs, it’s crucial to provide education that goes beyond surface-level awareness. This workshop unpacks the science behind social media’s impact on the brain, from dopamine-driven dependence to its effects on self-worth and emotional resilience.

Teens will walk away with a clear understanding of:
✔ The real needs they’re seeking to fulfill on social media—and how to meet them in real life
✔ How social media alters their reward system, sense of identity, confidence, and overall happiness
✔ Practical tools to engage with technology in a way that strengthens, rather than distorts, their self-image and relationships.

Allie primarily focuses on helping her adult clients function from a healthier, more regulated nervous system to promote lasting changes. Many adults are functioning from a high-stress internal framework based off past traumas and insecurities that put their bodies into a defensive and reactive state, subconsciously striving for safety and relief at all times.

A few areas that can feel the most challenging when adults are functioning from this state, are through difficult life transitions, forming new habits, communication skills, setting goals, working through irrational beliefs, understanding and managing their anxiety, and applying boundaries. Allie guides her clients in identifying limiting beliefs and fears that hold individuals back from the changes, growth and healing they desire to achieve, and assists her clients through the path of self-discovery, healing, action, and purpose.
