Welcome—I’m James Salas, a Board-Certified Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 13+ years of experience in mental health care and 24 years of service in the military. I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and relationship challenges.
My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) to provide structured, results-oriented care tailored to your goals. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just need a space to reset, I’m here to help. I offer virtual sessions and am currently accepting new clients.
After retiring from military service, I transitioned fully into private practice to continue my mission of service—this time, by helping people heal, grow, and thrive in civilian life. I understand the complexities of military, first responder, and high-stress lifestyles and offer practical, evidence-based support in a safe, respectful environment.
