Let’s be real, looking for a therapist can be overwhelming. Lots of scrolling through profiles, reading countless bios, and not knowing where to start. And yet you still pursue it. To me, that shows an incredible amount of strength, resiliency, motivation, and a readiness for change. In my practice, I come from a collaborative, empathetic, humorous, and supportive approach, as I aim to listen and adapt to each individual’s or couple’s therapeutic goals.

Offering feedback, another perspective, and/or coping skills can be very helpful. On the other hand, sometimes people just need a listening ear. Over the past 11 years, I have been fortunate enough to develop a strong skill set to not only meet clients where they are in their healing process, but also be that listening ear, voice of reason and give clinical insight when needed. Sometimes life gets tough. Sometimes we as people experience events that just seem impossible to overcome. Sometimes we just don’t feel like ourselves.

You’re juggling so many things at once that you’ve lost all perspective. It takes everything you’ve got to make sure your loved ones are happy, and your clients are taken care of, but the smile you’ve been holding up is starting to slip. You feel like a fraud. Everyone around you seems to know what they’re doing while you struggle to get through the week. Your job requires a lot of compassion, and there’s nothing left for you at the end of the day. You love helping others professionally, but the burnout is becoming resent. The guilt of even having these feelings is unbearable. You need a break or an outlet before you explode!

It takes a lot of courage to begin therapy. Thank you for visiting my profile as you begin or resume your healing journey. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and am passionate about helping others take courageous steps to process life’s losses, uncertainties and struggles. Depression, anxiety and trauma doesn’t have to define you, the quality of your relationships or future. I’m here to offer you a safe, inclusive and respectful place of support and encouragement in your path forward.

Hi, my name is James "Jim" Husen. I am a Psychologist. My approach to therapy is to first do no harm, then help the client with his/her symptoms and figure out the root or source of those problems and help the client with that too- give a person a fish, the family eats for a day, teach a person to fish, the family eats for a lifetime and beyond when the children are taught to fish as well.

No person is an island. Life would be so easy if it were possible to handle everything alone. Yet this world is full of challenges, stress, and trauma, made all the more difficult when we lack access to our most important resources. We get stuck in frustrating patterns that leave us feeling distant from our loved ones and from ourselves. This distance weaves its way into so many things: mental and physical health, identity, sexual interest and performance, and right back into the relationships we should be able to rely on.
