Hi, I’m Natashja James, BSW, MS, LPC, RYT—Founder of PEACE BE STILL HOLISTIC HEALTH and a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 12 years of experience in mental health counseling, education, and social work. I provide individual counseling in a confidential and supportive space for young adults and students—including college, graduate, and medical students—who are looking to care for their mental health, reconnect with themselves, and navigate life with more clarity and intention.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In sessions with me, you can expect to gain greater self-awareness, practical tools for managing stress and navigating life’s challenges, and a renewed sense of confidence and alignment with your values. My holistic approach integrates mind, body, and spirit, creating a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences from all angles. Together, we’ll work toward meaningful change, building resilience and fostering well-being. Clients often leave sessions feeling empowered, with a clearer sense of direction and strengthened resilience. I also offer a FREE 15-minute consultation to help you determine if we're a good fit. If you're interested, please visit my website at www.peacebestillhealth.com to request a consultation.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One of my greatest strengths as a provider is my ability to normalize therapy and break down the stigma often associated with seeking help. I bring a calm, compassionate presence to each session and am skilled at helping people feel comfortable opening up—especially when they’re used to carrying a lot on their own. I focus on creating an authentic, honest space where clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported, which fosters trust, openness, and meaningful growth.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I specialize in working with young adults (ages 18–35) and am especially committed to creating an affirming space for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ clients. Whether you're facing academic stress, adjusting to new life roles, or pursuing personal or professional growth, I’m here to support you in building resilience, managing stress, and aligning your life with what matters most to you.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
In my work as a school counselor, I used Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help students tackle challenges quickly and get back on track, focusing on their strengths and what was already working. Now, in my practice with adults, I take the same approach—helping you identify your goals, build on what’s going well, and create practical steps to move forward
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person-centered, means you’re at the heart of everything we do. I provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space where we focus on your unique experiences, strengths, and goals. Together, we work toward growth and healing at a pace that feels right for you, with me as a guide to help you uncover your own solutions.
Mind-body approach
As a holistic counselor, I draw on my yoga expertise to honor the connection between your mind, body, and spirit. Instead of focusing solely on symptoms or diagnoses, I look at how all aspects of your life are connected. Mental health is an integral part of your overall well-being, and this approach helps us explore that connection to support your healing and growth.
