My name is James Hunter MS, LPC, LCDC. I am 52 years old I have 25 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have worked in various levels of care from intensive inpatient, supported residential treatment programs, and outpatient treating a wide range of mental health symptoms. I Specialize in Cognitive & Behavioral Psychotherapies, Reality Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Existential approaches, Substance Use Disorders/Addiction counseling, and other modalities modified to your needs. I have experience working with and treating Mood Disorders such as Depression & Anxiety type disorders with evidence-based treatment modalities. My approach can be very genuine, direct, and honest and while I may not always tell you "what you want to hear," I will provide feedback based on what is best to hear to help improve your insight into your problems. My counseling/therapy style may not be for everyone. If you are ready to make changes and are seeking honesty, logic, and a solution-focused approach then I may be a good fit for you. I believe in a total wellness approach to treating mental health disorders and life issues that considers the larger picture of health: Mental, Emotional, Physical, Social, relationships, Spiritual, Environmental, & Occupational or sense of purpose. I understand that adopting a new lifestyle & healthier habits can present challenges and often at times may seem difficult. My goal is to assist you with improving your mental health, well-being, overall health as a person, and with developing healthy patterns of thinking and healthier behaviors/coping mechanisms while helping you gain insight into your own personal psychology and development. I am ready to assist you with: Adjustment to life issues, Codependency/Relationships, Anxiety, Depression, Self-esteem, feeling overwhelmed by life, Stress, toxic relationships, and more.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
What to Expect in our first session: During our first session I will use part of the session typically the first part to ask you some standard questions that are part of my methodology that I use to get a bigger picture perspective of you and your life and more information that will be helpful with having more context with helping you working towards developing more insight. Obviously we are going to address your concerns too in our first session so I appreciate your patience with the first part of the session where I need to ask some questions that will be useful and essential. * Important: Before your first session filling the "Inake Form" out completly is required as information such as emergency contact is required in order for me to be able to work with you. It is also required by insurance providers. Thank you
