Jeannie James
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
About Jeannie
Greetings! I am a licensed Professional Counselor who has worked with all ages. I am experienced in individual, group, family, substance abuse, and co-occuring therapies. I use a cognitive behavioral approach to assist you with changing unwanted thoughts and behaviors. I enjoy working on real issues and seeing the end result. I have worked in a residential and private practice venue.
I am older and have spent most of my adult life in social work field, this is my chosen path and I Love what I do. I am a Mother of two and Grandmother of two. My hobbies and life passion have been horses to which I still own, raise, ride and show. I have worked with kiddo’s with riding lessons and find that a horse is great therapy.
People have told me that I am very easy to talk to. I pride myself on my non-judgmental approach to our therapeutic relationship. Life is a journey and none of us will have a perfect path, there is always stumbling blocks on the way but that doesn’t have to be the end, instead let that bring on learning and growth and we can do that together.
With your courage and my support we can do it!!
I can’t wait to meet you
