I am a licensed professional counselor and a National Certified Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania. I have been able to work with people in different settings for nearly a decade. I have the most experience providing services that relate to anxiety, stress, family relationship issues, coping skills, and life transitions.
My counseling style is primarily person centered and I like to adapt different therapeutic approaches as the therapeutic relationship evolves. I have enjoyed working with people of all ages and helping them reach their goals through adapting approaches to their unique circumstances. I have found that often the most part important part of developing confidence and motivating people for a positive change in their lives is providing a space where they are truly heard without judgement.
The path to healing can be difficult to start and even more difficult to maintain yet I hope that you will undertake this journey and know that you are not alone in it. I look forward to hearing from you and am excited to be a part of your journey!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for James Armstrong. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
James is a terrific listener and I believe genuinely cares about making sure I am getting what I need out of our sessions.
