Nicholas Dillon, MS, MA
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, LCDC, SAP, NCAC, Life & Recovery Coach
Addiction counseling consists of individual and or group sessions that can be done both virtually or in person. We utilize CBT Intervention tools along as part of our practice approach to counseling. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is a type of talk therapy, or psychotherapy, that can help with many emotional and mental conditions or issues. In fact, CBT therapy is more than just one type of therapy; it is a group of different techniques that psychologists, therapists, and counselors use to modify thoughts, behaviors, feelings, and emotions.

Substance Abuse
Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with substance use or addictive patterns that are affecting their relationships, mental health, or sense of self. This may include concerns related to alcohol, drugs, or compulsive behaviors that feel difficult to control. My approach is supportive and non judgmental, with a focus on understanding what the behavior is doing for you, rather than simply trying to eliminate it.
Together, we look at the emotional, relational, and situational factors that contribute to addiction, as well as the impact these patterns have on trust, intimacy, and communication. I help clients develop healthier coping strategies, increase accountability, and create realistic plans for change that fit their lives. For couples, this often includes working through betrayal, rebuilding trust, and establishing clearer boundaries and expectations.
I also integrate trauma informed care, mindfulness, and motivation based strategies to support long term recovery and emotional stability. Whether you are early in the process of change or returning to therapy after setbacks, I offer a space where progress can happen without shame, pressure, or judgment.

Michael J. Salas
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LPC-S, LCDC, CSAT, CST
Addiction isn’t just about the substance or behavior—it’s about the pain, disconnection, and patterns underneath it. Whether you're struggling with drugs, alcohol, or compulsive behaviors like sex or gambling, I work with you to understand what’s driving the cycle. Together, we’ll look at the emotional, relational, and historical pieces that keep you stuck, and start building something different.
I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. I meet you where you are, whether that’s early in your recovery or after multiple attempts to stop. I also support partners and loved ones who have been impacted by addiction, especially when trust and safety in the relationship have been shaken.
Addiction recovery is possible. You don’t have to do it alone—and you don’t have to keep living in survival mode.

Carrollton is a Dallas-area suburb with an unusually diverse character for the DFW metro, home to one of the largest Korean-American communities in Texas—with a well-established Koreatown corridor—as well as significant Vietnamese, Indian, and Chinese communities, creating a demand for multilingual and culturally competent therapy that is distinctive for a suburban Texas city. Korean-speaking, Vietnamese-speaking, and other Asian-language therapists are sought after in Carrollton, and practices specializing in the mental health needs of first and second-generation immigrant communities are an important part of the local landscape. Common therapy concerns include intergenerational family dynamics, acculturation and cultural identity, academic pressure in communities with high educational expectations, immigration stress, and the challenges of navigating bicultural identity in a conservative Texas suburban context. The proximity to Dallas's much larger therapy market gives residents access to the full breadth of specialties available in the metroplex.
