What clients say
- “Very knowledgeable Christian therapist who is willing to listen and cut to the core issues”
- “James seemed to be understanding. He listened and was empathetic.”
- “James is professional and extremely knowledgeable. This review is coming from a male that entered counseling extremely skeptical. My wife and I set up couples counseling a few months back to address some big and small issues we were consistently encountering. James helped me understand the logic and value in learning how to work through issues/emotions with my wife, while also giving my wife the emotional support she needed through the process. James has done an amazing job at meeting me where I am at and helping me to identify, understand, and express emotions in a productive manner. Something that I thought was a waste of time prior to my sessions. There are not enough words to express how thankful I am. Whether you are in need of immediate help as a couple or just looking to improve your relationship with your significant other, James can help.”

- “I’ve disagreed with therapy all my life and have never found a good therapist. <br /> I met Mr James through better help and it is now my Sunday night routine <br /> He has helped in so many ways it would be to long to write in the review. Understanding, knowledgeable, no pressure, conversational,<br /> And does not tell me what to do but helps me figure out what I what to do for myself. <br /> I would do nothing but recommend him.”
- “James is very caring and understanding of both sides of every conversation and respectful of different perspectives. 10/10 would recommend his expertise to anyone!”
- “Appreciate everything”
- “James is attentive and very knowledgeable in the ways he handles our sessions. James knows how to word things to make them more understandable and helpful for us. James is aware of things and never skips a beat on letting us know what we should do to better ourselves in whatever situation we find ourselves in. He is aware and mindful to every thing brought to the table”
- “He knows when it's a good time to talk about something or not.”
- “Myself and my partner have had 2 video calls with James. It’s always difficult finding the perfect therapist and with two sessions I believe that James is the perfect one for us. <br /> <br /> He’s empathetic, he listens and is able to reflect back what we’re saying as well as offer helpful tips. We were able to use his tips as soon as the call was finished which helped fortify our communication as a couple. <br /> <br /> I would recommend James to anyone as a therapist. His knowledge, his skills and his empathy is what’s helping us find the tools to build a better foundation for our relationship. <br /> <br /> Thanks a ton James!!”
