Professional statement

James Fedor is a psychotherapist in New York and New Jersey. He works with adult individuals, couples, and groups. Many of James’s clients come in to address anxiety, depression, disappointment, loneliness, or uncertainty about what to do with their life. James has successfully worked with clients from a diversity of backgrounds, identities, ages, and problematic situations. Most of his clients get enhanced self-clarity within weeks, and start to see/feel tangible results in their lives within a few months of starting therapy with him.

James is trained in depth/Jungian, somatic, transpersonal, cognitive behavioral, and attachment based interventions, in which we look at feelings, thoughts and behaviors that don't work, explore the deeper drives beneath this, and discuss manageable and achievable steps to implement change. In session, James focuses on the client's personal successes, and works compassionately with the areas on ongoing challenge. This approach supports clients to feel higher levels of self-awareness and acceptance, more confidence at respecting their feelings, and are able to stay connected to themselves during times of distress.

James's style is interactive, compassionate, down to earth. When clients first start therapy, we work to understand the current situation bringing them to therapy, set goals, and establish a strong therapeutic relationship.

James received his PhD and MSW from Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. He has worked at Institute for Personal Growth, where he received advanced training and supervision in sex therapy (including BDSM/kink), trauma based interventions, ethical non-monogamy, couples therapy, and ketamine assisted therapy. Outside of private practice, he enjoys quiet time in nature, reading, and community involvement. He offers online therapy to people in New York and New Jersey, and ketamine assisted therapy in person in New Jersey


Message to clients

Have you reached a point in your life where things just aren't working? Do you need to make an important change or decision and it just feels so hard? Are you uncertain if you want to stay in your relationship? Or are you falling into the same problematic patterns and situations in life and don't understand why? If you answered yes to any of these, then please contact me, I can help. I provide high quality therapy where you will be fully seen, heard, and understood, and I provide plenty of interactive feedback to whatever feels important to you.

Our first session will be spent getting an understanding about the situation that is bringing you into therapy; I will ask you "Why now?". I want to know what reached critical mass that directly led to you contacting me. Over time we will look at the origin of that situation, and we will explore parts of your past to best understand how and why you experience life the way that you do. We will work towards self acceptance, getting clear on the path that will feel most right for you, healing old hurts, and building ways to stay strongly anchored to yourself during times of change. I am humbled and honored to be chosen to walk this path with you, and wish for your experience in therapy to be a truly life changing one.
