James Armour

My communication style

The way I communicate is honest and sensitive, and I always create a safe, comfortable space where my clients can be themselves. The tone I set comes from the research, so everyone knows they are getting the best possible service. I allow people to make decisions, and I always remain patient.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey started as someone who was extremely low-income. I was taking the bus 5 hours a day to get to school and back and experiencing significant distress. However, I eventually graduated with my AA, got my BA, then my MSW, and now I am an LCSW with a Doctorate in Social Work. I know what it takes to get well, and that's what makes me unique.

My goals for you

I help clients reach their goals by first collaborating with them to create a treatment plan. Afterward, we evaluate whether we are meeting the treatment goals at every session through a task-centered approach and research-based scales, so we can measure whether your symptoms or behaviors that cause dysfunction are decreasing.

Our first session

Our first session will focus on two things: getting to know each other and conducting an intake assessment. Afterward, we will decide together what the pace of our therapy will look like and what a potential diagnosis might be.
