James Bush, LCSW

Psychotherapist
IN
Hi there, I'm Jim! I'm a licensed clinical social worker with a Master's in Clinical Psychology from John F. Kennedy University. I have a passion for helping people and a deep commitment to my clients. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and I work with my clients to create a safe and supportive environment where they can explore their thoughts and feelings and develop new ways of coping with life's challenges. My approach My most common approach is cognitive behavioral therapy, especially with individuals struggling with anxiety. I use Motivational Interviewing techniques to help people make behavioral changes. I also use solution-focused interventions. My focus I am comfortable with most conditions, having treated individuals for 25 years. I am especially effective in treating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, ADHD, youth, and individuals with a history of trauma. My communication style My style is to hear and understand your situation and work with you to achieve your goals. I am casual but direct, supportive but not enabling. Most of all, I am flexible and will find the style and interventions that fit you best. My journey to mental healthcare I come from a family of healthcare providers-my father was a physician, my mother a physical therapist, and my sister a pharmacist. I enjoy helping people understand how they got to where they are and helping them get unstuck. Mostly, I want to help everyone have hope for a better tomorrow. My goals for you I work to determine what you want to achieve and then set clear, measurable goals so we know when they are reached. I ensure the path is helpful and supportive and come alongside you to start the journey. My first session with you In our first session, I gather your history, clarify your goals, and connect with you. At the end, we'll see if it feels like a good fit and develop a plan moving forward.
