Michael James

My communication style

I try to meet you where you are and gain an understanding of your goals of therapy. I am very down-to-earth and believe that the therapeutic alliance between you and me is essential to make meaningful progress.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started my career in finance but found my calling in mental health. I've worked as an advocate, addiction counselor, dual diagnosis therapist, and in leadership roles. I have empathy for those who have suffered from mental illness, addiction, and trauma, and I use that experience to help others.

My goals for you

I work with you to determine your goals and what you want to achieve in therapy.

Our first session

I will introduce myself and answer any questions you have about me and my experience. I let you make the decision on whether you feel like I am a good fit for you. I ask questions to see who you are, what your experience has been in life and therapy, and generally get to know you.

I identify as...

• Male
• Caucasian or White
• Christian
