Mr. James Salas has been amazing so far. I have had him as my therapist for about a month now and he has already helped me notice quite a few of my behavioral and thought patterns. As a biological female, I have really appreciated how he has always made me feel safe and comfortable during video sessions. I am excited for what more I can discover on this journey with him :)

Hello, just a quick introduction. I am a Board Certified Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience. I have worked in a military mental health outpatient clinic for over 19 years. I recently retired after 24 years of military service and would like to continue serving the community. I specialized in individual, couples, and family therapy working with adults, adolescents, and children to aid in the areas of anxiety, ADHD, concentration, communication, depression, domestic violence, panic attacks, parenting, and self-esteem. I have additional training in Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure Therapy to help address any trauma concerns. Thank you for taking the time to read this short introduction and I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

An amazing therapist who genuinely worries about the well-being of his patients.
James is helping a lot with struggles in my life. Primarily dealing with feeling during my divorce.
I have been seeing James Salas for 1 month now and can confirm that James has experience in CBT, DBT, trauma and more. I have had many therapists and am picky. James has good insight the ability to ask the important questions, holding accountable, and can handle morbid humor. I don’t typically like video therapy I am more of an in person kind of individual though this experience has been great.
