Getting to know James Armour

Hi there, I'm James! I am a licensed clinical social worker with 3 years of experience providing psychotherapy to all ages. My expertise is working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. I ensure the services I provide are not only practical but fun and aligned with your goals. My focus My ideal clients are individuals, couples, and families who are open to trying new things and ready to have fun. I truly enjoy helping people whose symptoms have caused significant impairment in their lives, helping them overcome their adversities, and enjoying life the way they want again. My approach My approach is simple: I focus on building trust and rapport as I assess your needs so I can determine what research-based modalities and interventions can help address your mental health needs. I do not push any services on anyone, and I make sure everything we do in our sessions is something we both agree to. My communication style The way I communicate is honest and sensitive, and I always create a safe, comfortable space where my clients can be themselves. The tone I set comes from the research, so everyone knows they are getting the best possible service. I allow people to make decisions, and I always remain patient. My journey to mental healthcare My journey started as someone who was extremely low-income. I was taking the bus 5 hours a day to get to school and back and experiencing significant distress. However, I eventually graduated with my AA, got my BA, then my MSW, and now I am an LCSW with a Doctorate in Social Work. I know what it takes to get well, and that's what makes me unique. My goals for you I help clients reach their goals by first collaborating with them to create a treatment plan. Afterward, we evaluate whether we are meeting the treatment goals at every session through a task-centered approach and research-based scales, so we can measure whether your symptoms or behaviors that cause dysfunction are decreasing.
