As a therapist, I enjoy helping people to explore and develop their strengths while improving their beliefs and feelings about themselves. I help clients explore and challenge the negative thoughts they have about themselves. I also work with clients to identify the origin of those thoughts and move past allowing those memories and circumstances to control their perceptions of themselves.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or wishing you could reconnect with the joy you once felt in your relationships and life? Balancing a career, marriage, and family can be deeply challenging, especially with today’s pressures. As someone who’s been married to my best friend for 40 years while raising well-adjusted children, I understand how stressful these roles can be. Many couples find themselves worn down by the lack of support from their partner or children, and the financial and emotional demands of daily life. Together, we can work to ease this strain and help you find direction and fulfillment again.

My name is James Fetner, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I work with children, teens, and young adults outside of Grow, though on here I am open to all ages. I graduated with a Master's of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2019 and have been practicing since, except during a year and a half period where I was unable to work due to long-Covid. I specialize in addressing trauma, depression, anxiety, anger, and ADHD. If you read my whole bio and think I may be a good fit but these are not your areas of need, or you have one or more of these in addition to another diagnosis that I have less, but still some, experience with (bipolar, substance use, OCD, etc), feel free to reach out anyway to discuss or schedule an intake if you like.

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to write a new chapter in your life, one where you feel more in control, more fulfilled, and more at peace? Whether you’re navigating life’s challenges, seeking growth, or simply needing a space to be heard, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place. As a licensed clinical social worker with over nine years of experience, I bring a diverse background to my practice, including work in psychiatric hospitals and the non-profit sector. My journey has allowed me to work with a wide range of clients, across various ages, ethnicities, and personal preferences. I hold an undergraduate degree in Chemistry from Spelman College and a Master’s in Health and Mental Health Social Work from Whitney M. Young Jr. School of Social Work at Clark Atlanta University. My passion for knowledge keeps me curious and always learning, which helps me stay in tune with the latest insights in mental health. I am a firm believer that no one knows more about your life than you do—you are the author of your story. My role is to support you as you write your next chapter or even change the title altogether. My approach to therapy is grounded in sincerity, client-driven methods, and evidence-based practices. I strive to create an autonomous and ethical therapeutic environment where you feel supported and empowered.

This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use.
