About James
Background information and counseling approach of James J. Sanders, LMFT, LIMHP, LPC, NCC, CCMHC
My approach to couples and individual counseling as well as the duration of counseling varies depending upon your wants as well as other clinical indications. In collaboration with you, I like to set concrete, attainable goals. At the end of counseling, it is great to look back and realize what you have achieved. I utilize various approaches and models, partly depending on what may have worked for you in the past. Some of the theories and tools I gravitate to include Cognitive Therapy, Solution-Oriented Therapy, Family Systems Theory, and, on an appropriate occasion, humor.
Counseling is a fluid process that includes many possible benefits and potential pain, as we will discuss openly throughout therapy. You and I will identify some issues you may be having and collaborate on a resolution.
