About James
I am licensed in the state of Texas with 35 years of professional experience as a therapist and sometimes a supervisor. I have experience in helping clients in coping with depression, grief and loss, and intimacy related issues. I use Gestalt therapy to help you focus on the here-and-now and improve your awareness of issues that are interfering with your happiness and to hopefully free you from any blocks that interfere with your happiness. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will work with you to create a treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
