About

I like people.

I’m a counselor committed to helping folks discover and become the most authentic version of themselves. My work with individuals combines a wide variety of techniques drawn from therapeutic traditions like CBT, narrative therapy, polyvagal theory, EMDR, and mindfulness to help people come home to themselves. One of my passions is helping people learn and grow. In addition to counseling, I offer performance coaching, mindfulness coaching, and consulting. Whatever your needs, I’d love to come alongside you in your journey. Am I accepting new clients? The best answer is "sorta." My calendar is pretty full, so I can usually only accommodate new clients with flexible schedules who are open to meeting a little bit sporadically at first. If that sounds like something you'd be open to, feel free to give me a call at 913-306-2850 or email schedule@talkingwithjames.com.
