Getting to know James Saxton

Hi there, I'm James! I hold licenses in the State of Texas for LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and LCDC (Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor). I earned my Master's in Social Work from Our Lady of the Lake University and also pursued graduate studies at Grand Canyon University. I approach therapy from a trauma-informed perspective and have worked with substance abuse, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, codependency, and trauma for several years. My approach I utilize a trauma-informed approach along with humanistic and existential perspectives. I also draw from CBT, ACT, psychodynamic, experiential, and Jungian-type modalities. I am eclectic in my approach and aim to find the right modality to help you move toward your therapeutic goals. My focus I work best with those experiencing past or present substance use, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, sleep/wake issues, and men's issues. My communication style I strive to create a warm, inviting space where communication flows freely. I practice reflective listening and will challenge thoughts at times, both directly and indirectly. My journey to mental healthcare Since I was young, I dreamed of being a therapist in private practice. The path from that younger self to who I am today has had many twists and challenges. I got serious about pursuing my education in 2015 and began working as a counselor in a substance abuse treatment center. Over time, I felt a clearer call to continue growing and earned my LCSW. I come to this work with humbleness and great respect for the seeker. Together, we work to co-create a world of safety, connection, and freedom using practices for the mind, heart, and soul. My goals for you I believe the best way to set goals is to ask you directly what they are. If your goals are unclear, I will work with you to gain clarity and develop achievable steps forward.
