James Pobanz

My communication style

My goal is to hold space for you in a manner that allows you to safely share your stories, struggles, and hopes for healing. I strive to offer a calm, comfortable, welcoming, and non-judgmental space for all, and am constantly humbled by the vulnerable work my clients allow me to be a part of.

My journey to mental healthcare

Through my career in the Army, I saw firsthand how mental health issues can turn into mental illness when not treated, and how many are preventable by having the correct outlet of services readily available. Those experiences and my own journey of overcoming hurdles have fueled me to become an advocate for those who need someone to confide in.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is focused on meeting you where you are. I work collaboratively with you, putting you in the driver's seat of your treatment plan and well-being. I believe mutual trust in the therapeutic relationship and a feeling of acceptance in therapy are the most important tools for successful therapy.

Our first session

We will collaborate to identify attainable goals and gather background information about your history with these issues. These might include learning healthy coping skills for stress, managing anxiety symptoms, and improving sleep quality. Whatever your goals are, we will set expectations and develop a plan toward achieving them.
