James Vidrine

Hi! I’m James Vidrine (he/him). I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (Lic. #92468) and supervised by Ashely Candice LPC-S (Lic. #66496). As a therapist, I find great joy in guiding clients, especially newcomers, through the engaging process of counseling. I am particularly energized by working with young adults and older teens, as I believe our connection and progress naturally flourish. In addition, my experience in couples work during my internship provided me with an invigorating change of pace from individual sessions.

 Throughout my practice, I have established strong rapport and effectiveness with numerous clients, especially young adults seeking support in various areas. From developing coping strategies to navigating emotions and finding direction in life, I am dedicated to empowering individuals on their journey of self-discovery. I am also passionate about addressing challenges related to sexual or gender identity and fostering self-empowerment. It is challenging for most couples to fully recover from an affair. Effective interventions are likely to require an eclectic approach. When you have two participants in therapy, it is important to vary your methods and theories, seeking what works best. As an expert in this field, I can provide you with insightful information and guidance.

In my own life, mindfulness meditation and other DBT-related skills have played a profound role, offering benefits in multiple aspects. I have witnessed the positive impact these techniques have had on my clients as well. Furthermore, I am committed to exploring innovative therapeutic approaches, including art and music therapy, as they can provide unique avenues for healing and personal growth.

In my counseling practice, I bring not only professional expertise, but also a deep understanding gained from my own mental health journey. This allows me to offer clients a compassionate and empathetic perspective when addressing the concerns they seek help for.

 If you are a young adult navigating the challenges of depression and anxiety, seeking to explore your sense of self and purpose, or are motivated to enhance your relationships, I am here to support you. LGBTQ individuals and those on a path of continual learning are also welcome. Let's embark on this transformative journey together.
