Getting to know James Seward

Hi there, I'm James! Thank you for reviewing my credentials. My name is Dr. Jim Seward, EdD., LMHC. I am an Iowa State Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I hold a Bachelor's degree from Southwest Baptist University and a Master's degree from Western Illinois University. I provide compassionate communication with a nurturing heart approach. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. I have been in social services for 35 years and have worked with many diverse populations. I praise you and encourage you to own your decisions. My approach I provide strength-based therapy, offering much positive reward. I assist you in trusting the therapeutic process. My focus I work with all ages, focusing on anxiety (control issues), depression (the battle within), and anger (a beautiful emotion that tells you something has to change). My communication style I am soft-spoken, a truth teller, and have a no-holds-barred approach. My journey to mental healthcare If it weren't for my academic advisor during my undergraduate studies, I wouldn't have earned my degree. My career fell into my life journey, and I love it. I enjoy providing suggestions that clients can choose to respond to positively or negatively. It is their choice. My goals for you I learn from you what you want to talk about and then place it in therapeutic terms. My first session with you This therapist listens to your story while also learning if you are functioning properly.
