Hi. My name is Dr. Jim Hanson and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I work with individuals and couples. My main approach is Cognitive-Behavioral, which means that we will focus on the role thoughts and behaviors play in psychological functioning and well-being. For couples counseling, I prefer the Gottman method, pioneered by John and Julie Gottman. The counseling relationship is very important and I believe that this therapeutic relationship must include trust, mutual respect and empathy. As your therapist, this relationship will allow us to work together to foster positive growth and development.
I have experience working with adolescents, adults, families/couples and multi-family therapy in both in-patient and out-patient settings. I am also a certified hypnotherapist. Hypnotherapy is an adjunct--or supplementary--form of therapy for which there are many applications. It can be helpful with chronic pain and anxiety (test anxiety) to name just a few.
Choosing a counselor/therapist is one of the more important decisions you will face. Sometimes the process can be intimidating and frightening. I am here to offer you both a safe place and many years of experience in the helping profession. I look forward to hearing from you. Please drop me an email or call and let's begin this journey of renewal together.
