Very good therapist!

I have had James as a therapist for over a year and I am very thankful for his professionalism, dedication to helping others and myself, but most of all I am able to be myself in sessions without feeling pressured. I also enjoy his flexible schedule which is one of the reasons I have used BetterHelp for therapy. James is encouraging and challenges me to grow and learn more about myself each session. I cannot thank him enough for his work!

James has been great! He has given fantastic guidance and empowerment when I needed to hear it most from someone outside my circle. It was a pleasure working with him!

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!

Very comforting and insightful. Makes me feel like my responses to stress are valid even if not logical
