LCSW, 10 years of experience
I want to thank you for taking the time to read about me. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and an US Army veteran. Thru telehealth clients have been able to obtain self-awareness, acceptance and change towards impairing life experiences. Patient centered care through 3rd wave therapy interventions such as mindfulness and cognitive behavioral approaches summarizes my practice style. Experience continues to show me that awareness is the doorway to change.
Each encounter we have is unique to need and always centered around rapport building. As we communicate and gain insight together, feeling capable becomes a baseline attainment to reach.
When we meet we will complete a Treatment Plan, where assessment tools may be considered for use. Treatment methods are based on what is suitable to your needs. The general approach is to always identify the belief. Belief dictates action and inaction.
Telehealth allows us to provide counseling and therapy to clients via live video conferencing. This can be done anywhere you have a computer or smartphone. Telehealth has been and remains a resourceful approach for all services rendered.
I work well with individuals ages 18 - 65. My specialty is substance disorders, more broadly addictions. Appreciative in being able to help others navigate their mental health needs whether it be thru diagnoses, counseling or referrals.

James really gave me a space where I felt comfortable and safe to share everything about my life. He has helped me recognize the importance of mental and physical well-being with patience, compassion, and attentive listening. Mahalo for all the support and resources you’ve provided.

I started therapy about 2 years ago, and today I feel FREED. Mr. James has been GREAT the entire time; I decided to get out of my way and allow my greatness to FLOW...a little late. but we're here. His therapy is warm yet effective. It's like having an ACTIVE uncle that I missed during childhood. An uncle that understands your and hear you out while holding you accountable to GROW! It's funny to refer to his name so formally because I don't call him anything in sessions...Nevertheless 10/10!
