Professional statement

Nicholas James is a great fit for people who want to live lives of adventure, exploration, and meaningful challenge, but who find themselves stuck or held back by struggles with mental health or personal blocks. He has over a decade of experience in mental health with a focus on post-traumatic growth, anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship issues, grief, and life transitions.

Message to clients

Start as soon as this week! Sometimes life hits you hard, sometimes so often it feels like it won't get any better. You may be feeling stuck and in need of support for the first time, or you've felt this way for as long as you can remember; in any case, I'm here to tell you change is possible. Joy and meaning can be a part of your life again. Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Relationship Issues, Grief, and Life transitions are all experiences I have an extensive history in helping with. I've walked with clients from rock bottom all the way to the best days of their life.

We can begin that life you hope for today. Not later, not when therapy is over. Today. Trauma-Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a scientifically supported and deeply personal process of change. We will uncover what exactly is keeping YOU stuck and what works best for YOU as an individual to create the life you want to live.

I'll walk alongside you as a fellow traveler, just as I have with many before you. From fear, hopelessness, and pain, to freedom, peace and vitality. It's an endeavor worth taking on, and I'll be right there with you. There is no story too painful to heal from. My name is Nicholas James and I am excited to get started with you.
