Talking with James just works.. He's down to earth, none judgmental and just so easy to talk to.. he's an intuitive listener... very punctual, beyond all of his insights that he offers... we can even have a laugh when talking about such tense and uncomfortable things and in my book that can be a form of therapy in and of itself... I highly recommend james.. Great guy.. can't say enough good about him.. 10/10

I couldn’t have chosen a better therapist for my first time than James! I feel he truly understands what I’m going through and how I’m feeling. I highly recommend him to anyone!

Spencer is someone who listens! He offers pointers and helped me identify the real issue at hand. He spoke to me as a good father speaks to his son. He doesn't teach, he guided me to identify the key issues and chat a roadmap to resolve them. I enjoyed every session with him.
