Michael J. Salas

As a long time advocates of gay men, Michael Salas and Phillip McCulley have worked with several men on accepting their status, as well as dealing with the trauma of surviving HIV during the AIDS crisis of the 80s and 90s.

Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I provide supportive and affirming therapy for individuals and couples impacted by HIV or AIDS. I am deeply aware of the fear, loss, and stigma that emerged during the AIDS crisis of the 1980s and 1990s, and how those experiences continue to shape the lives, relationships, and mental health of many people today. For some, this includes grief, trauma, survivor’s guilt, or long standing anxiety related to health, intimacy, or trust.
My work is grounded in respect, empathy, and an understanding of the unique challenges faced by the LGBTQ community. I offer a space where you can speak openly about your experiences without having to explain or defend them. This may include support around disclosure, dating and relationships, sexuality and intimacy, medical stress, or navigating changes in identity and community over time.
Whether you are newly diagnosed, have been living with HIV for many years, or are supporting a partner or loved one, therapy can be a place to process emotions, strengthen relationships, and reconnect with a sense of stability and meaning. My goal is to support you in living fully and authentically while honoring both your history and your resilience.

Hypnotherapy for HIV/AIDS Support: Strengthen Mind, Body, and Spirit
A diagnosis of HIV/AIDS can bring emotional, mental, and physical challenges, but you are not defined by it. Whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, self-acceptance, or health management, hypnotherapy can be a powerful tool to support your well-being and inner strength.
Through guided hypnosis, you can:
✔ Reduce Stress & Anxiety – Release fear and regain control over your thoughts and emotions.
✔ Strengthen Your Immune System – Use the mind-body connection to promote healing and resilience.
✔ Cultivate Self-Acceptance & Confidence – Overcome shame, stigma, and self-doubt.
✔ Develop a Positive Mindset – Embrace hope, empowerment, and a fulfilling future.
Your mind is a powerful ally in healing, and through hypnotherapy, you can develop inner peace, emotional strength, and a renewed sense of self-worth.
You are strong. You are worthy. You are not alone. Take the first step toward healing—schedule a session today.

31 Years Experience
Online in El Paso, TX Texas
El Paso's location directly on the US-Mexico border defines its mental health landscape, with a predominantly Hispanic population spanning both sides and bilingual Spanish-English therapists at the center of the city's therapy community. Fort Bliss — one of the largest Army installations in the country — creates strong demand for therapists specializing in military trauma, PTSD, and the challenges faced by active-duty families. The 2019 mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso had a profound impact on the city's collective mental health, and therapists specializing in community trauma and grief have played an ongoing role in recovery. Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso and University Medical Center of El Paso provide institutional mental health resources for the broader Borderland region.
