Life sometimes gets complicated, getting help doesn't need to be. I am licensed in Florida with 8 years of professional work experience as an LMHC, with another 9 years of prior experience working within the mental health field. I enjoy uncomplicating the counseling process. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, & depression as well as coping with life changes.
I view the therapeutic process in this way:
You and I sitting across a table eye to eye. We are looking at your map of life and the dynamics going on. You are at point A and want to be at point B. I am but your guide/advisor on how to get from A to B.

Amazing
Written on Jul 29, 2024 after therapy with James for 10 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, self esteem, and adhd
James has done a great job of trying to quickly cover the bases and provide the tools in our first session. We're still getting to the deeper parts of things, so this is probably too early for a comprehensive review, but here goes: he's a solid guy that wants to help and he understands the dynamics of a relationship, where things can start to break down, and he has resources to help. It's our responsibility to implement them, and that's where I'm going to need help. I feel I've been validated, now I need to know where I'm falling short and help working on those things without fooling myself into thinking what I'm doing is enough to avoid my eruptions. It's easy when I'm calm, how can I keep myself from blowing my lid, I think he can help me with that, but we're just getting started. He has a very cool persona and he provides a lot of good information for reference.

James is what I needed in my life, to bounce things off of where I don't feel I can share with others. Specifically regarding addictions, it is good to have a vehicle to open to.

James Wells is the best therapist I’ve ever had the privilege to work with. He goes right into the problem and shows ways to work on it. He is a lifesaver! His expertise and compassionate approach have made a significant positive impact on my life! I truly think that I have grown both personally and emotionally as a result of our sessions together! He was able to open up my vision and see things for what they are. What an exceptional therapist!!!!! Forever grateful!

I appreciate that James gives me space to talk things out while also providing me with tasks to work on in between sessions. He is always friendly and makes sure I know I can message between sessions, if needed.

James Wells is a fabulous therapist. He’s always ready to listen and help when needed. He’s very good about rolling with whatever you need that day whether it’s a friend to randomly discuss books or a therapist that can coach you through how to deal with the things happening in your life, from parenting and marriage to trauma and cancer. He has absolutely no judgment and is completely supportive while helping you find your path. I have tried therapy many times through my life and working with James is the first time that therapy is everything I thought it could be.

I had met with another therapist as my first introduction to therapy. They were very kind, but I didn't mesh well with them. I decided to look for another therapist who aligned with my situation more closely and stumbled upon James. He's been very transparent, is able to meet me at my current self, and is working with me at a pace that works for me. I would highly recommend James!

James has been a saving grace in my life. His insight and wisdom is second only to his genuine care, compassion and willingness to fully understand the way I’m thinking.
James comes prepared with tools, questions and well thought out advice to meet me where I’m at on any given week. He doesn’t focus on problems, but rather the tools to help me handle and or solve the problem.
I deeply respect James and consider him a friend. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their life by grounding it in appreciation of the present moment, compassion for others, and accepting that life is just a work in progress.

Awesome guy, best therapist I've had (out of the 4 I've had in my life). Understood my situation, talked to me about it, gave me homework, answered my questions, supported me, and helped me apply it. I grew a lot in just 4 weeks. Thanks James!

James is really amazing. We have had a couple sessions now and not only has he opened my eyes on some of the situations in my life but has encouraged me to find a solution. Very understanding and very easy going. He is easy to talk to as well which is a must for me. I recommend him to anyone regardless of what they might be going thru.

James is amazing and takes the time to follow up with me when I’m getting caught up with work and sends me what I need to do my internal work when I am having difficulty making time for 1 on 1s. I absolutely adore and appreciate how in tune James is with my better help experience and suggest the app and him OFTEN. Cannot express enough how grateful I am to have him on my team and how much this app makes the internal work accessible and feasible for me in many ways - one of the biggest points is how feasible financially it is to have my support on hand whenever I may need. Thank you James and thank you Better help for having him. This app is great.
So lucky he was my first match!

James is a great therapist with a great deal of expertise. He has already helped me in the early times as him being my therapist. He listens attentively and provides feedback and questions to better help see my point of view and how I can overcome obstacles and negative thoughts.
