We deeply respect the courage it takes to ask for help and are honored you have chosen us."

What To Expect

Once you’re ready to get in touch with us, here’s what happens next:

  1. Schedule a free 15 minute consultation to get an idea of who we are as therapists and what we offer.

  2. If we both determine we are a good fit, we can move forward and schedule a virtual or in-person appointment.

  3. At the first session, your therapist will get to know all about you and what you hope to accomplish.

  • "I am feeling better about my life and myself, and feel like I am becoming a better partner."

    “I saw James to have a safe place to discuss my marital challenges. I wanted to speak to an unbiased party that would not hold anything against my spouse. After sharing some of my concerns, James assisted me in getting to know myself again, which included finding out what makes me happy, what gives me meaning and purpose, and how to engage in a self-care routine that centers me, despite all of life’s chaos. I am feeling better about my life and myself, and feel like I am becoming a better partner.”
