Andrea James

My communication style

I'm relational and person-centered. I believe trust and the therapeutic relationship are at the core of profound work. I want people to feel seen, heard, and witnessed in a way that feels safe, nurturing, and aligned with who they are. Humor organically shows up and can benefit the relationship.

My journey to mental healthcare

Life dealt me a hand that offered varying degrees of adversity and opened my heart to how complex the human experience can be. My belief that connection and love are at the core of what makes us whole led me to seek out a career that embodies both. Being an unbiased source of comfort and connection is what keeps me doing this work.

My goals for you

Goal setting can be concrete or fluid. As a person-centered clinician, I make sure you're at the center of creating meaningful goals aligned with your hopes and desires. We'll establish what that looks like in the first sessions and re-evaluate in an appropriate timeframe with mindful compassion.

Our first session

We'll take time to get to know one another and begin developing trust. I offer space for you to ask questions or name any fears or concerns about starting therapy. I gather relevant information about your background and present concerns to better understand what you're looking to get out of therapy.
