Getting to know James Watson

I work with adults and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and trauma. I specialize in gender affirming care and Veteran mental health. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) my approach is centered on helping clients clarify what is maintaining their difficulties and develop practical and sustainable ways of shifting them. With my experience I understand how deeply our environments and histories impact our mental health. I don't believe in the one-size-fits all approach. Instead, I combine my clinical expertise with real-world strategies that fit your specific lifestyle. In our sessions, you'll find a balance of structured support and relaxed, honest conversation. Whatever you may be going through whether it's stress, questions about yourself, or simply feeling overwhelmed know that you don't have to navigate it alone. You deserve a space where you can explore your thoughts and experiences openly, with honesty and authenticity, and without fear of judgment. If this feels like the right fit for you, I would be honored.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider's self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan's benefits.
