I was a little hesitant to talk with James at first, but our first session had me reflecting, going to the root cause of my issues, and learning how to prioritize my mental health and well-being. Using biblical principles and tools to support me was very important so these sessions mean a lot and I am happy to have him as my therapist.

James Vanstone has been so wonderful in our sessions, he really takes the time to understand my thoughts and worries and always tries to provide helpful resources to help me overcome my troubles. As a Christian myself he has also given wonderful advice through scripture and prayer.
