James has been my therapist for just over a year now, and his guidance has been immeasurable. In the past year, I've gone through a series of very rough patches that he helped me navigate and helped me stay accountable to myself throughout. He is very patient and a great listener. He always provided insight and asked me some challenging questions that really provoked thought but ultimately helped me onto the right path for me. I can't recommend him enough!

Excellent therapist. I can tell he cares and contributes when he feels like he should and restrains himself when I need to just verbalize my thoughts.

I have been working with James for several months now. He is not just an educated Therapist but a very kind person as well. He has provided me with many coping mechanisms dealing with grief. With his amazing listening skills and sound grasp of humanity I have grown and continue to be excited about moving forward with my journey and I have James to thank for it.

He is a cool, kind man and I enjoy talking with him, even with our large age gap. I usually find it difficult to talk to people who aren’t around my age, but he makes it easy. Very nice man.

I have been seeing James for roughly 4 months now and if you are new to therapy or have had negative experiences in the past like I have I would highly recommend him. He is genuine, compassionate, and learns about you as a person and treatment isn't pushed or if you don't feel like talking about what has brought you to therapy to begin with we don't talk about it. Before him, I was very inconsistent with therapy, hated going, hated myself more (apologize for hard truth), and felt pressured into things I didn't agree with. Thank you for everything you have done for me!!

I have been very satisfied with my experience with James. This is my first experience with therapy and I found James to be very attentive, responsive and supportive. I also feel confident in his expertise and experience. I have felt heard and understood during our sessions and have found it very easy to be open and receptive through the process as a result.
