A note from James

Welcome, I am a LMFT practicing in CA. I completed my BA of Psychology at UCLA and my Masters/MFT at USC. I completed my extensive clinical training at the Los Angeles LGBT Center and other community based organizations. I have experience working with individuals, couples and families on depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship/marriage dynamics. It is my mission to create a non-judgmental and supportive environment that will strengthen the therapeutic relationships. Embarking on a therapeutic journey takes work and commitment and if you are willing to put in the work I am committed to helping you succeed.
