Jim is great, he has literally changed my life. I've learnt to be kinder to myself through mindfulness and self-acceptance. I have a difficult past, with complex trauma. In my 30s I was diagnosed with ADHD; after years of treatment for depression and anxiety it was Jim who first recognised the symptoms - and very early on in our journey together! I will always be greatful for his support.

I specialize in helping people struggling with tough decisions, difficult people, and challenging situations by helping them to develop realistic solutions. Experience a supportive, individual and engaging approach to treatment with humor, access to a knowledge base and authenticity. I help clients to navigate their world of relationships by learning to "do less" and "be more." This starts by modeling a new and different relationship that is without judgment or unwanted advice. I will work with you in discovering your barriers to fulfillment and increase your belief in your capacity to change. We will accomplish this goal by establishing a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship.
I have practiced as a licensed counselor since 1989 providing mental health, and substance use disorder services with extensive training in many modalities. My approach is tailored to your particular needs with a empathetic and trauma focused approach. I have taught masters level mental health counseling for over 20 years and my scope of practice and certifications also includes certification as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCPT).

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

He’s amazing
Jim is fantastic to talk to and really helps me get to the root of what I’m trying to say as I spout 5 half sentences trying to explain myself. He is kind and funny and reminds me to stay kind to myself. I always end the session feeling like I understand me more.
I have never made so much progress with a therapist, I really appreciate everything Jim has done and is doing for me. He’s an amazing therapist !
James has provided such a high level of support. We focus on coping strategies which include both new practices introduced to me by James as well as evolving some of existing practices to help me more mentally. It feels like I am getting tailor made support and solutions with detailed context about how these can be helpful. James is easy for talk to and is still deeply insightful. He has helped me so much in this difficult time and I would recommend him to anyone interested in a practical approach to helping oneself.
Its been a week or two and I an very happy I found him. He is funny, down to earth, he has time for me, he makes the effort to respond and really make me think a lot of myself.
I literally love him! He is very responsive and attentive. He checks in throughout the week, remembers past conversations, and offers lots of tools
Very kind and understanding
James Evan’s, in our short time together has made me realize things about myself I was completely unaware of. The journey we are going on not only makes me feel hopeful, but inspired. He is an amazing, and I’m thankful to have someone like him to help me and guide me through this journey
Awesome and understanding!
