Getting to know James Murtha

My name is James Murtha, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with teens and adults struggling with performance anxiety and life-changing moments (such as devastating injuries). Receive my education from the University Of Michigan School of Social Work; the top-rated social work school in the country. I had been in practice for nearly 10 years. I specifically focus on integrating cognitive behavior therapy based treatments, helping clients learn how to connect the dots between their actions, feelings, thoughts.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I specialize in helping high-functioning teens (15+) and adults slow down their thoughts, regulate anxiety, and build a life that feels calmer and less performative. Together, we’ll work on practical tools you can use immediately — grounding, thought restructuring, nervous-system regulation.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In our first few sessions, you can expect many questions from me about you. I want to get to know you as well as possible to get as full a picture as possible rather than telling you what to do without knowing much about you. You can ask questions about me too; this partnership is a two-way street and I want you to know you can trust me and feel comfortable sharing fears, vulnerabilities, and moments from your life with me.
