James Anderson

My communication style

I enjoy providing an honest, open, supportive space where you can freely share both struggles and triumphs. I utilize tools including supportive listening, humor, honesty, empathy, sincerity, and down-to-earth communication to foster, build, and strengthen our therapeutic alliance.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey began with acceptance that struggle is inevitable but I have witnessed remarkable resilience and determination emerge when people are met by an ally who genuinely believes in their ability to grow. Having the privilege of serving as that ally, who walks alongside them and celebrates their progress, is what fuels my passion.

My goals for you

I maintain that the client is the expert in their own life, and I am here to be a collaborative guide. We will set goals that align with your values, will regularly review progress, and will keep plans flexible and adaptable to you as knowledge and skills are learned and implemented.

Our first session

The initial assessment will give us a chance to get to talk and ask questions. First meetings can cause some nerves but this will be a first step towards building our therapeutic alliance. Towards the end of the assessment we will set some goals and schedule additional sessions. It is my aim is to make you feel welcomed, valued, and encouraged.
