Written on Jun 10, 2025 after therapy with James for 2 months on issues concerning relationship issues

James has been very helpful with myself. Simple having a person to talk to who is willing to listen and provide great feedback in what he can dissect from the situation. Therapy is a long process and he gives me some very interesting topics to consider when outside of the session. Things in which I haven’t thought about for years.

His professional approach (while still being personal) helped me become comfortable with him as I'm navigating a sensitive and deeply personal journey. In addition to our video sessions, the set of reflection prompts he provides every week allows me to explore my journey in a safe way.
