About James Cole

Welcome!

My name is Michael Cole (James) and I am a licensed mental health professional. I offer my services here as a part-time contractor. I hold multiple degrees including a Master’s in Social Work and multiple licenses to practice as an independent clinician (LICSW) in various states.

My approach to services is eclectic in nature, which is to say that I shift my approach to meet your needs, whatever those may be. I do not believe in “cookie-cutter approaches” to this kind of work as each person is unique as are their needs and goals. I strive to be culturally informed and desire to provide competent support to all persons in need.

You deserve a clinician that you can trust and who is focused on your specific needs. You deserve someone who will hold space for you, who will not cast judgement, and who will work with you to help you determine what the best path forward looks like. These things are what I strive to provide to every client I see.

I am very excited to meet you and to get started on addressing the concerns/issues that brought you in to see me. Please, don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

PLEASE NOTE: I do not offer “messaging sessions” and due to my limited availability I mandate that clients only book sessions that they can keep as no-shows, late cancels, and late appearances will result in my having you find another provider to work with who can accommodate such things.

Thank you for reading up on me.
