James Sanford
Introduction
I work with individuals, couples, and families facing relationship struggles, family conflict, anxiety, depression, trauma and many other concerns. Through a systemic approach to therapy, I work to help couples and families improve communication, strengthen relationships, and develop healthier patterns. In individual therapy I work collaboratively with clients to identify goals and find lasting solutions based off of clients' strengths. I strive to create a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel seen, heard, and comfortable being their authentic selves. Together, we can build on your strengths and work toward meaningful, lasting change. I practices from a client-centered, collaborative, strengths-based approach and practice primarily from an integration of Solution Focused Brief Therapy and Structural Family Therapy. In therapy, clients can expect a collaborative, goal-oriented approach with an emphasis on client autonomy. In therapy I focuses on creating environment of warmth, trust, and empathy. By reaching out to start therapy you are already taking a big first step towards the change you wish to make in your life. It would be my honor to work along side you in your therapy journey.
