I specialize in anxiety, stress, depression, and interpersonal issues. I typically work with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, and interpersonal issues (e.g., relationship issues, family conflict, peer issues).

Hi, I'm John. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I've provided therapy to clients who have been impacted by many different diagnoses and symptoms, with an emphasis on those related to depression, anxiety, and trauma. I have experience being with people in their lowest moments, and have had the privilege of seeing them heal and grow to become more who they really are when not impacted by mental health symptoms. I'm here to listen, understand, and help. I'd be happy to meet with you for a free 15 minute consultation to see if we're a good fit.

Hi, I am Dr. James Fishback, a licensed Clinical Psychologist. I have been working with adults and children in private practice, schools, prisons, outdoor settings, and courts for 33 years. My therapy approach is first to deal with any immediate stress to help set up support for my clients and then work on the cause and resolution of their problems and issues at a pace they select. I think my strengths as a therapist are working with individuals and couples who are ready to work on understanding and acknowledging how each of them contributes to their own issues and to the resolution of them.
