    Meet Dr. Jim

    My Experience, Expertise and Credentials

    I am a pastoral psychotherapist with over 40 years of experience in providing individual, marital, family and group psychotherapy. As our wounding and losses occur through relationships so I believe our healing and growth take place in the crucible of human relationships. In the therapy relationship I provide a safe, welcoming and accepting environment where individuals, couples and famlies can find healing and creative, imaginative approaches to life’s dilemmas and mysteries.

    I have extensive experience in small and large group facilitation and community building and have served as a human relations consultant for agencies and businesses. My specialized training and experience includes Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD) and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder(PTSD). I have taught on the graduate level for years as an adjunct faculty member of Loyola University. I have served as director of a Pastoral Counseling Center, president of the Louisiana Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, and as a member of the Board of Directors of the C.G. Jung Society. I am an elder of the New Orleans Men’s Circle.

    My credentials include being a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Louisiana (#138), a Fellow in the American Association of Pastoral Counselors (#925) and a Clinical Member in the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (#8234).

    Are you ready to take the first step?

    My Values

    Confidentiality

    To be able to fully trust the therapy process you need to know that your personal information will be kept private and confidential.

    (Limits of Confidentiality)

    Creativity

    Often we humans get stuck in unhealthy old patterns of thought and behavior: the therapy relationship can bring imagination and possibilities which engender relief and hope.


    Compassion

    To heal and grow we all need to be heard and understood with the deep level of compassion that psychotherapy can provide.

    Acceptance

    Change, healing and growth are best facilitated in a relationship in which we feel accepted just the way we are. You will find that acceptance in your therapy relationship with me.
