About Dr. Michael Salas

I’m certified in both sex addiction therapy and sex therapy, which means I can help with a wide range of sexual issues, not just one side of it. Some of the people I work with are in a relationship that’s struggling with sex and intimacy. Others are in a relationship that’s been put at risk by out of control sexual behavior. 

You might be in a long term relationship or marriage and have just found out your partner’s been keeping sexual secrets you never thought were possible. Maybe you’re the one who’s crossed a line and aren’t sure where to turn. Or maybe there’s been no betrayal at all, and the relationship’s sexual connection has simply been struggling. Whatever the situation, I’ll help you open up honest communication, name the problem for what it actually is, and work to strengthen the relationship from there.

I’m a kink, poly, and LGBTQ+ affirming therapist. If you’re part of these communities, you won’t need to educate me or defend your relationship structure before we can get to the actual work.

If this feels like the right fit so far, schedule a time so we can explore how therapy might help.

What I work With

Sex and Porn Addiction Therapy

If your relationship has been hurt by repeated cheating or affairs, it's possible you're dealing with a sex addiction, or that your partner is. I also work with people whose relationships have been affected by porn use. If you're not sure whether this is actually a problem, I can help you assess that and figure out how to heal, both yourself and your relationship.

Discovering a partner's sexual behavior, whether it's an affair, compulsive porn use, or something else, is its own kind of trauma. You may be dealing with shattered trust, intrusive thoughts, or a body that won't settle down even when your mind knows you're safe. I help partners make sense of what they're feeling, figure out what they actually want moving forward, and start to feel steady again, whether that means rebuilding the relationship or not.

Trauma can affect how you relate to others and to yourself. It can leave you feeling detached, and it can make it hard to manage your feelings or even identify them in the first place. I help people work through this using a combination of mind and body based therapeutic approaches, whether the history involves family, coming out and self-acceptance, or other forms of abuse or neglect.

I work with erectile dysfunction, pain during sex, premature and delayed ejaculation, and lack of sexual desire. These are common, treatable issues, not something to just live with quietly.

I'm an affirming therapist for kink, polyamorous, and LGBTQ+ clients. That includes work around sexual orientation, self-acceptance, and gender care. You won't be pathologized here for who you are or how you're built.

My work on sex addiction, betrayal trauma, and sexual health has been featured across national outlets and respected professional organizations. I wrote Bridging the Sex Addiction Divide to bring that same clarity to therapists and clients working through one of the hardest questions in this field, not just for recognition, but because these questions deserve real answers, not oversimplified checklists.
