I’ve been helping individuals and couples find new ways since 1995 and have been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Good Housekeeping, The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Daily Record as well as local newspapers and tv stations throughout the country. I believe that no two individuals or couples are alike and use a multi-modal approach specifically tailored to your situation. You'll find my approach to be practical, positive and affirming, based on the latest research and designed to cut through all the clutter that's been preventing you from experiencing your life to the fullest.
You’ll find me to be both a good listener and an active participant in your work. I’ll provide feedback and support, ask you hard questions and tell the occasional bad joke to help keep things in perspective. My goal is to help you find new ways of thinking and feeling with a renewed sense of purpose and of being back in charge of your life.
I've had training in the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Imago Therapy. Curious about working together? Give me a call or drop an email, I offer a free 20-minute consultation so you can get a feel for the fit.
Call or Joe James now for a free 15 minute consultation - (240) 485-6053
