James (Jim) Snow
I am a passionate, person-centered therapist with more than 30 years helping people recover from a variety of issues. My approach is both compassionate and directive. Clients working with me will find a safe, judgement-free environment. Therapy cannot happen in any other environment. You will find my approach to be realistic, warm and engaging. Drawing from a variety of approaches, matching my approach to your unique personality type and goals. I have extensively worked with trauma survivors, first responders, and the LGBTQIA communities. My work with the trans community started more than 20 years ago when this issue was extremely taboo. I have worked with people from adolescents to older adults. Age and gender-specific approaches are crucial in helping people heal. I am passionate about my work and will provide you with tools and resources to empower you in the healing process. I specialize in addictions, depression, anxiety, trauma, gender and sexual orientation issues.
First session
The vast majority of my clients report feeling relief at the conclusion of each session. As I often provide homework assignments, specific tasks, and exercises, there is an element of coaching included in our sessions. I am an EMDR practitioner, which is extremely helpful in resolving trauma, attachment and substance abuse issues.
Strengths
My strenghts are my excellent diagnostic and assessment skills. I can quickly determine the nature of the issues a person is facing, and develop a treatment plan that will effectively address those issues. Healing need not take years and years of therapy. People I have worked with find that they begin to feel better within weeks of starting therapy. Though most clients work with me for a period of about 6 months on average, many people ask to continue working with me longer-term for wellness and support. Having someone in your corner is a wonderful support as we constantly face new challenges in our rapidly chaning world.
