Michelle Martin
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, EMDR
Counseling is a safe place where you can process and grow through what happened to you so that you can live a meaningful life. As a trauma therapist, I have extensive training in crisis and trauma counseling, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for those recovering from trauma and other distressing life experiences.

Crystal Williamson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S
Sexual abuse or assault is a type of trauma that affects us terribly deeply and pervasively, to the very core of our sense of safety and identity. EMDR can be very effective to treat this type of trauma and unroot it from our brains and nervous systems so that we can move forward in freedom. Allow me to help you finally find liberation.

Michael J. Salas
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LPC-S, LCDC, CSAT, CST
Sex is one of the most intimate parts of a relationship, but when something isn’t working, it can lead to distance, frustration, and shame. As a Certified Sex Therapist with specialized training in helping individuals and couples improve their sexual connection, I offer a space where you can talk openly and work through what’s getting in the way.
Whether you’re dealing with erectile dysfunction, premature or delayed ejaculation, vaginismus, low desire, or pain during sex, these issues can take a toll on both you and your relationship. You’re not alone—and there are ways to work through it. Together, we’ll explore what’s going on emotionally, physically, and relationally, and develop tools to help you feel more connected, confident, and present.
I'm also a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), and I work with people navigating sexual compulsivity, porn addiction, and out-of-control sexual behaviors. If your relationship with sex feels overwhelming or secretive, therapy can help you gain clarity, control, and a healthier sense of intimacy.
Experiencing sexual abuse can leave deep emotional, physical, and relational scars. You may carry shame, fear, numbness, or confusion long after the event itself. It’s common to feel disconnected from your body, your boundaries, or your sexuality—and to question whether healing is even possible.
I have extensive experience working with survivors of sexual trauma, and I approach this work with care, respect, and patience. I’m trained in EMDR and Somatic Experiencing, both of which help process trauma in ways that go beyond talk therapy and support healing at a nervous system level. As a Certified Sex Therapist, I also help clients reclaim their sense of sexual identity and connection, whether that means re-engaging with intimacy or learning how to feel safe in their own body again.
This is delicate, layered work—and you don’t have to rush it or do it alone. If you're carrying the impact of sexual abuse and are ready to begin healing, I’m here to help you move forward with support, clarity, and compassion.

Arlington sits between Dallas and Fort Worth at the heart of the DFW Metroplex and serves a large suburban residential population navigating the particular stresses of fast-growing communities — long commutes, family pressure, and the challenges of raising children in a rapidly changing environment. The city has a large Hispanic and growing South Asian population, with increasing demand for culturally affirming and bilingual therapists. The University of Texas at Arlington provides a significant student population, and the city is served by Medical City Arlington and Texas Health Arlington Memorial Hospital for institutional mental health needs. Many Arlington residents also access therapy across the wider DFW metro, making the city part of a larger regional therapy ecosystem centered on Dallas and Fort Worth.
