James is a wonderful therapist. He listens with compassion and empathy. He has knowledge and experience that is helpful. He teaches me skills to handle my emotions in a healthy manner. He is encouraging and supportive as I navigate these new techniques. I highly recommend him as a therapist.

Spencer is one of the nicest and most compassionate and understanding people I have ever met. He has already helped me in several ways in the past, and yesterday’s session was just as helpful. I highly recommend him.

My therapy experience working with James Brown has been incredible, I have nothing bad to say about him. In the hardest times of my life he has been a voice of reason and comfort. He is extremely supportive, encouraging, and will help you grow in any way that you prefer. He is also very knowledgeable in a wide variety of areas; One of the best qualities a therapist can have is knowing the right thing to say and the right time to say it, James Brown has always had that quality.

Talking with James just works.. He's down to earth, none judgmental and just so easy to talk to.. he's an intuitive listener... very punctual, beyond all of his insights that he offers... we can even have a laugh when talking about such tense and uncomfortable things and in my book that can be a form of therapy in and of itself... I highly recommend james.. Great guy.. can't say enough good about him.. 10/10

Spencer is an AMAZING therapist. He intently listens to the problems you're having, asks questions to dive deeper into the root cause, and provides helpful suggestions on working through those challenges. He'll be my go to resource for addressing my ADHD, work, and social anxiety.

He's very knowledgeable. He was able to identify several of my signs of anxiety and guided me through dealing with those anxious moments.

I can not say enough good things about James. I have never had a therapist that I feel so comfortable and safe with. He is highly-qualified and I would suggest him to anyone who is suffering with mental health issues.

I couldn’t have chosen a better therapist for my first time than James! I feel he truly understands what I’m going through and how I’m feeling. I highly recommend him to anyone!

Spencer is someone who listens! He offers pointers and helped me identify the real issue at hand. He spoke to me as a good father speaks to his son. He doesn't teach, he guided me to identify the key issues and chat a roadmap to resolve them. I enjoyed every session with him.
