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.

I have endured this form of abuse at a young age. As a survivor of this terrible experience, that I did not choose, I understand the aftermath and what you may be traveling through.
