Services
First, get to know James, review our fees, check out our office, and explore the FAQs section. During our call we'll ask you some questions about your situation and allow you to ask us anything to make sure we're a good fit. If we decide to move forward, we'll email you a link to your client portal after the consult where you can complete the intake paperwork digitally at your leisure prior to your first session.
Choosing the right therapist or coach to help guide you through this moment in your life is an important decision. My goal is to help clients develop new skills and insights to improve the quality of their lives, relationships, and careers and move From Surviving To Thriving. It was an unusual rainy day for Arizona and I was leaving a client's office following a meeting.
With windows on both sides of the therapy office, there is adequate ventilation for comfort and peace of mind. Enjoy a cup of coffee, tea or a cold beverage as you sit back on a leather couch. You can choose from cool Jazz or ambient music for the backdrop of your therapy session. The spacious office size allows for generous room (8 feet) between chairs to maintain a safe distance.

Sounds fun doesn't it? We didn't think so either. The best way to help you is to get to know and understand how you experience your world. So expect a lot of questions early on. Then expect to be challenged and pushed. Don't worry, we're pretty good about knowing when to push and when to pull. But if you're looking to come in and complain about your life and have someone simply co-sign your bullshit, then keep looking.

I've been to several different counselors over the years, but never found one like this. James is thoughtful, knowledgeable, engaging, and above all invested in his clients progress. No nonsense here, just straight and direct focus on how to get you where you want to be. I'm very glad to have found him.

James is the best therapist I’ve gone to. He listens without judgement, gives constructive advice, and creates an open and honest environment. He has helped me become a better version of myself and gave me the tools to get through my toughest moments. You can tell while talking to him, he is genuinely invested in helping you. I would recommend him to anyone!

James is a lifesaver, a life changer, and a game changer. He connects with teens and makes them see their own strengths and capabilities in ways that increases confidence beyond anything you ever thought you’d see in your teenager. Don’t be surprised when your kid practices calming exercises and tells you all of the things that he is proud of about himself. Better still is the focus you will see on his continued, mindful personal growth. Yup, that’s your kid. Thank you, James.

James at Arcadian Counseling is an excellent support for men struggling with an array of anxiety related issues. I’ve known him for over 3 years and he always provides the highest level of care for his clients. He’s got a great vibe about him and his knowledge and professionalism is top notch! I highly recommend James!

I've talked to several other therapists and was less than satisfied with what they had to offer and felt like I was wasting my money. I've been seeing James for about a month and a half and have seen noticable improvement in my mood and ability to handle difficult situations already. I was looking for someone to help me with the struggles of motherhood because my brain has gotten in the way of me enjoying life with my almost 2 year old son. He offers tools to help train your mind to handle these "difficult" situations and helps me to think differently. Worth every penny, I highly recommend.

I have never worked with such a dynamic and passionate person who genuinely cares about his clients and most importantly, what needs to get done. James takes a personal interest in everything he does, it’s just his nature.
