Suicidal Ideation Therapists in San Diego, CA
I enjoy helping tweens, teens, adults, couples, families, and groups use art (and/or traditional talk therapy) to access deeper parts of themselves, learn to identify and communicate their emotions, explore sources of internal/external conflict, and introduce healthier coping strategies into their everyday lives. I like to meet a client where they are at and collaboratively construct a treatment plan that incorporates some CBT techniques, mindfulness, narrative, psychoanalytic and art therapy directives.

Hi there, I'm James! Amazing transformations can occur when you feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable in an environment that cultivates growth and exploration. As your therapist, I'll seet you with compassion and non-judgment, providing a space to nurture growth as we collaboratively explore your relationships, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. I use an eclectic approach to therapy as everyone comes in with their own unique story. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to reshape unhelpful thoughts while building skills to manage your emotions. Further, I have extensive experience in trauma work.
