James Salas
Hi, I’m James Salas, a Board Certified Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 14 years of experience helping adults, veterans, and professionals navigate anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges.
Having served 24 years in the military, I understand the impact of high-stress environments, burnout, and unresolved trauma — and I specialize in helping clients find clarity, calm, and renewed purpose.

First session
In our first session, my focus is on getting to know you—not just what brings you to therapy, but who you are as a person. We'll talk about what's been going on, what you'd like to work on, and what you're hoping to get out of therapy. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and heard.
Strengths
My communication style is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I create a space where you feel truly heard and supported, but I'll also gently challenge patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Clients often describe me as encouraging and easy to talk to.
Ideal clients
I work with adults and adolescents facing anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I have a strong focus on supporting veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and professionals navigating high-stress careers, burnout, or identity shifts.
