Getting to know Dr. James English

IMPORTANT: Thriveworks cannot provide services to clients with Medicaid coverage. If you have Medicaid, please contact your plan directly to find an in-network provider. For all other insurance plans, Thriveworks will verify your benefits after you book through Zocdoc. If verification isn't completed before your visit, you'll be charged our self-pay rate of $200 for that session. AFTER YOU BOOK: Complete these steps to avoid cancellation or being switched to self-pay. 1. Check your email for instructions to set up your Thriveworks account. Within your Thriveworks’ account, sign consent forms and add a valid credit card, which will be automatically charged for copays, fees, post-insurance balances, and self-pay amounts. 2. If using insurance, upload clear photos of the front and back of your insurance card. 3. Expect a confirmation call from our team to verify your information and answer questions. CANCELLATION POLICY: Provide 48 hours advance notice to avoid the $135 late cancellation fee. I'm Dr. James English, a Licensed Psychologist with 30 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families. I offer a warm, collaborative space to identify patterns, build skills, and create lasting change. I earned my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the Adler School of Professional Psychology in Chicago. My approach blends cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavior, and acceptance and commitment therapies with Adlerian lifestyle analysis and practical, evidence-based care tailored to your goals and values. I know taking the first step can feel daunting; I meet you with empathy, clarity, and steady guidance. If you're ready to understand what's driving your patterns and to practice tools that work in real life, I'm ready to help. Let's talk and chart a path toward relief, confidence, and healthier relationships.
