James (Jim) Wells, LPC
About me
I am licensed in the state of Texas with 35 years of professional experience as a therapist and sometimes a supervisor. I have experience in helping clients in coping with depression, grief and loss, and intimacy related issues. I use Gestalt therapy to help you focus on the here-and-now and improve your awareness of issues that are interfering with your happiness and to hopefully free you from any blocks that interfere with your happiness. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will work with you to create a treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Jim is amazing. Within the first weeks session, I noticed a remarkable difference in my mental health and was given the tools to keep improving.

Jim Wells has been my therapist on and off for some time now. I can confidently say I have been mentally better from the first time I started & still getting better. I recommend better help to anyone.

I will be having my 3rd session with Dr. Jim Wells this week, and I can honestly say I look forward to it. I truly felt a sense of relief after my first two sessions. I will continue to do my best to follow his advice and keep my mind focused throughout this new journey. I highly recommend Dr. Wells, & am thankful BetterHelp chose a therapist that fit my needs so well.

My first session was very helpful. Weeks later and I'm still thinking about it and what was discussed. I just booked my second appointment and am looking forward to it. Jim really hit the nail on the head with several concerns of mine and gave me good insight and advice.
