James Walker
Clinical Social Worker/Therapist - LCSW, LCDC, CGP
Being your best can be hard, especially if you feel different, life isn’t working out the way you planned, or the past won’t leave you alone. But you don’t have to do this by yourself. In therapy together, we start a process that explores your unique experience. I represent myself honestly to you and work to understand you honestly in a safe therapeutic relationship. Your therapy is personal. And through our work together you have the opportunity to discover more of who you are and how you live in the world around you.
As your therapist, I support you in identifying and processing methods of thinking, personal skills, tools, and strategies that build and protect your health while addressing current challenges. We focus on what’s important to you and take it one step at a time. The result is a collaborative and insightful experience, elevating awareness and creating change.
I believe in an open-minded, non-judgmental approach to therapy. Celebrating diversity of identity and expression is vital to maintaining a safe, productive space for connection and growth. I respect the courage it takes to show up for yourself, to value your mental health and happiness, and the importance of that sacred trust between you and your therapist.
