About me

Life sometimes gets complicated, getting help doesn't need to be. I am licensed in Florida with 8 years of professional work experience as an LMHC, with another 9 years of prior experience working within the mental health field. I enjoy uncomplicating the counseling process. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, & depression as well as coping with life changes.
I view the therapeutic process in this way:
You and I sitting across a table eye to eye. We are looking at your map of life and the dynamics going on. You are at point A and want to be at point B. I am but your guide/advisor on how to get from A to B.

James has helped me in a significantly helpful way on dealing with my struggles. I’m thankful for him being my therapist.

Mr. Wells has been a very considerate, compassionate, and enlightening therapist to work with. I've never done therapy before and had some worries coming into it for the first time, but his method of connection in conversation and communication in the open helped put those worries to bed. I would highly recommend Mr. Wells to anyone needed a therapist who is understanding and committed to helping you make positive changes in your life for the better.

James is awesome! He really listens to what I have to say and what my needs are. He allows for a non-judgmental environment, and really cares about helping me get better. He matches my style of therapy which is straight forward and how to make little tweaks instead of changing the whole picture. 10/10 recommend!

I feel like James genuinely care about me and helping me with my specific concerns. Talking with him was incredibly helpful for me at a time when I was very worried about a lot of things. Reality hasn't changed - there are still a lot of things I could be worried about. However, I think he helped me find the mental tools necessary to handle situations better with more forgiveness towards myself.

James listens to me and gives excellent feedback. Therapy seems to be helping in my day-to-day life and I'm thankful to have James to talk to about my problems. *Challenges rather!
