I didn't think therapy worked. 4 or 5 past therapists were passive, always wanting me to talk about feelings, but I never got what I needed. Jim is active and goal oriented and taught me mindfulness and how to manage my words and actions better in life situations

In just 3 months I feel less anxious, more confident and optimistic. His relaxation techniques have given me tools to manage situations that trigger anxiety.

Jim has been a great partner. He has helped me to identify and own my strengths, to develop a vision of how I can use these strengths to create the career I want.

In just 7 sessions I got better at identifying anxiety sooner and learned how to be proactive at dealing with it. How to direct my energy to resolve the source of the anxiety
