Hello, I’m James! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who is passionate about helping clients build a full and meaningful life while accepting and managing the stressors that life inevitably brings. My approach is based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (also known as ACT Therapy). ACT is a very active form of psychotherapy that utilizes acceptance and mindfulness strategies to help you stay focused on the present moment and manage difficult thoughts and emotions. I have a special interest in supporting clients who struggle with chronic pain issues, anxiety, depression, and chronic stress. I provide a compassionate and non-judgmental space to explore your issues and express your concerns. I became a therapist to help relieve the suffering of others, based on my own struggle with life’s challenges and being “stuck” doing the same things with no long-term results. I work collaboratively with clients to clarify their values and set values-based goals. We work together to create action plans that move clients towards living a life that is meaningful and purposeful to THEM! Our first session will focus on establishing a warm, kind, open, and authentic relationship. In the words of acclaimed ACT therapist and trainer Russ Harris, “When we give our full attention to another human being with openness, compassion, and curiosity, that is therapeutic in itself.”
I believe in the power of therapy to transform, heal and reprogram so that you can lead a full life. Are you noticing difficulty in your relationships? Are you overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts? Are you desperate for relief from past trauma? I am committed to providing a compassionate space for you to be heard in order to explore your pain, navigate present difficulties, and find relief from discontent and anxiety. I utilize evidence-based treatment modalities that access both conscious and subconscious issues. To heal from events or programming that have overwhelmed the body and mind, I aim for lasting change which requires neuro-biological shifts, achieved through processes such as hypnotherapy, attachment healing and experiential brain-based processes. I also employ Exposure and Response Prevention techniques for treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I provide a warm and relaxing environment where you can feel comfortable being you. I like to be real and talk to you like we are just two people navigating this crazy life. I'm excited to start our journey inward together and I believe there is hope. The best is yet to come. Whether you are new to therapy and have general questions or have traveled this path before, I am here for a free phone consultation when you're ready.
Painful feelings are not a sign of weakness nor, are they your fault. There is relief and, there is hope. Our first hour together is free. I do this because this time should only be for you. You should be the one to decide if you feel comfortable with us working together. Your level of comfort and openness is important to me. You should feel free to ask any questions you may have without feeling any pressure to get "something" done. In the past, most families have had the stability of living in one place with resources such as grandparents and lifelong friends. Now, we move, change jobs, and may have blended or single parent families. Our resources may no longer be there for us. Life's challenges can make us feel powerless, frustrated, depressed and isolated. These feelings can create anguish that feels tortuous, and at times unrelenting. Pushing them aside just doesn't seem to work anymore. Since these feelings are unseen, they are not easily understood. Unfortunately, we may think these feelings are a sign of weakness and we think we should be able to "just get over it." It takes strength and courage to reach out, ask for help, and commit to discovery and change. Life's challenges can cause feelings of hopelessness, sadness, and fear. Sometimes, it may seem these challenges are overwhelming. These feelings actually expose us to more illness and physical pain and also affects our judgment, decision making, and personal relationships. If you are reading this, then you are reading with hope. Hope with understanding and help, can bring you relief.
Hi, my name is Jodi Spires. For 25 years, I have worked as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with people learning to deal with depression, anxiety, trauma, and family issues. My approach to counseling is more eclectic than any particular approach. For the most part, I think people already possess the answers they seek; talking with a counselor can provide clarity and expose potential blind spots.

Congratulations! You have officially taken the first step! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Nationally Certified Counselor who is passionate about the therapeutic process and am deeply committed to helping others achieve a well-balanced, healthy lifestyle while discovering and enriching the uniqueness of oneself. I’m very fortunate to have a career where I feel fulfilled and help create a positive change in others. My therapeutic approach is unstructured, using real-life application along with an integrative approach encompassing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. I believe in customizing my approach to therapy to meet your needs.

I focus on skill building while beginning where you are as we work together to create a unique plan to enhance your strengths, meet your needs, and reach your goals. I strive to encourage and challenge others to be the best version of themselves. I am an active listener, who will be respectful and create a relaxing, nurturing, therapeutic space where you will feel supported and empowered. I specialize in working with individuals to help identify where they are, and where they want to be and help devise tangible objectives to get there. Through patience and acceptance, I believe therapy can aid individuals in recognizing problems, learning about symptoms, as well as learning self-awareness to change their thoughts and behaviors. I became a therapist to help others realize that we are all resilient beings capable of functioning better while working alongside life’s challenges. Based on my own experience as an adult, I too have had to learn the appropriate educational tools and coping skills to show up each day at my best …despite life’s hardships. My goal for every one of my clients is to learn different ways to cope with issues by identifying problems that are blocking growth. I strive to assist others on how to change their ways of thinking and reacting to problems that occur in their lives. I show great effort in normalizing therapy so that we can heal ….as a whole. Our first session will involve us getting to know each other. I will be learning about your social support, work andor school life, family, hobbies, and any other organizations you are affiliated with. During this time, it is very important for me to create a safe space for you to share why you are seeking treatment and for us to build goals and practice strategies to help you reach your desired outcomes.
