I believe that Jim Wells as a therapist has been able to do something critical for my mental health which is read my body cues to help him facilitate the therapy session to where it needs to go. He is able to discern the underlying issues that need to be addressed. I would not have raised them without his expert guidance because I was trying to hide them away. Jim Wells is an expert that can really help many suffering people trying to hide or avoid the issues very similar like I was. The reality is that this takes work and Jim Wells helps you tap into those places you may not want to go at alone.
More about James

- LPC
I am licensed in the state of Texas with 35 years of professional experience as a therapist and sometimes a supervisor. I have experience in helping clients in coping with depression, grief and loss, and intimacy related issues. I use Gestalt therapy to help you focus on the here-and-now and improve your awareness of issues that are interfering with your happiness and to hopefully free you from any blocks that interfere with your happiness. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will work with you to create a treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

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.

Jim got me to cry the big deep ugly tears of grief. He cracked open my hard covered shell of feelings. I’m grateful for his kindness and support during this period of heavy grief I’m going through.
Jim has been a great therapist! He keeps me honest but also has great insights. Definitely recommend him!
I am really enjoying my time with Dr. Wells.
I have only met with Jim twice, but have been thoroughly impressed by his expertise and empathy. I look forward to continuing to work with him and have no hesitation in recommending him.
Excellent therapist! Very kind and helpful.
So far, James has been great. I would recommend him freely to anyone I know.
