Getting to know James Strawn

Hello and welcome. I am James Strawn, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with close to 25 years of clinical experience. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I approach therapy from a holistic perspective, taking into consideration the whole person within the context of their mental health needs. My focus areas of practice include anxiety, depression, early stages of dementia and memory impairment, sexual orientation, men's issues, grief and loss therapy, relationship problems, and life transition-related issues. My approach I consider environmental and other stressors when providing therapy. Over my years of practice, I have found that the whole person is affected not just by one factor but by various influences that can bring about mental health distress. The most common theoretical approaches I utilize are cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, reality therapy, problem-solving therapy, and client-centered therapy. My focus I typically work with individual adult clients aged 18 through middle age. I also have extensive experience working with older adult clients over the age of 60 who have been diagnosed with early dementia or other memory impairment problems. I work with clients from all cultural backgrounds and am comfortable treating anxiety and depressive mood disorders, sexual orientation issues, grief and loss, relationship problems, self-esteem and confidence building, men's issues, and life transition-related problems. My communication style Non-judgmental and empathetic. Comfortable, warm, and inviting. I help create a safe and secure environment for all my clients where they can be themselves exactly as they are in the given moment. I believe the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important aspects of therapy. A strong, trusting relationship between client and therapist is vital for a client to begin experiencing healthy change. I believe it is important for all clients.
