Great listener. Good guidance with current situations. Offers multiple options for growth. Responds with questions/statements that allow you to prepare/work toward/set goals/ set homework for your own growth and well being. Honest and a real person. I never feel judged or like I am being evaluated -

James has been a great therapist. He greatly helped me get through all the problems going on in my life. I greatly appreciate everything he did for me. I didn’t know what to expect when I started, but he was really easy to talk to and helped me in many ways find my happiness and deal with emotions I had built up. I would highly recommend james to anyone that needs help.
