James Neumann, LCSW
Born and raised in Wisconsin. Graduated with a Master's Degree in Social Work with a clinical focus. I started my therapy career in a psychiatric hospital and after about three years relocated to Alaska where I spent twenty years. Much of my Behavioral Health experience was conducted with the Alaska Native population along with other ethnic groups. I believe cultural aspects are an integral part of an individual's life and experiences. I focus the therapy experience on being client centered and individualized since I do not think one path is the same for all. In my free time I enjoy outdoor activities.
