Getting to know James Chamerlik

As a kink-aware therapist and one that has experience working with polyamory and consensual non-monogamy, I hope to provide support to marginalized communities that face stigma, or that feel left out. I care deeply about social justice and work hard to dismantle oppression, as a vocal LGBTQ+ and feminist ally. As someone that became a therapist later in life, I apply my diverse experiences to my practice so that I may be more able to help you along your unique journey, or to uncover and address barriers that may prevent you from meeting personal goals or living a more authentic life. I apply a variety of therapeutic modalities and techniques with clients, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I provide an affirmative safe space for both individuals, as well as couples, as a Level 1 Gottman Method Therapist. I understand that it’s not always easy to ask for the support we need. I promise to be a good listener, and to work with you, collaboratively, so that you can begin taking steps towards a life that is more authentic, healthy, and meaningful.
