Therapy is a shared experience to explore past and present aspects of your life to help you grow and thrive, becoming the best version of yourself. I value building a safe meaningful connection to allow that work to be done.

I'm very experienced, dedicated, flexible in terms of days and hours, and able to be both supportive and appropriately challenging when needed. I especially enjoy working with couples and families as I can "hear" all parties and focus on helping each person speak their truth safely and also to listen. Professionally, I have an LCSW, authored or coauthored 4 books, 3 with HarperCollins and W. W. Norton. I've produced dozens of award-winning videos addressing addiction and relapse prevention widely used in treatment and corrections. I also have raised 3 children and served as both a foster- and adoptive- parent. Above all, I have integrity, a depth of experience, and good humor.

Welcome! I am a seasoned therapist who can offer practical and compassionate assistance to you on your life journey. Together we can create a space for you to heal and grow stronger and more resilient.

Hi, I’m James. I’ve worked as a psychotherapist developing positive client relationships since 2005.

Helping you reduce anxiety levels with breathwork and improve physical health with mindfulness and meditation techniques.

I’ve learned cognitive-behavioral treatments to assist you with overcoming addiction and anger management. And (how to) provide in-depth talk and mental health therapy for children, adolescents, adults, and families.

At Rusk Therapy, each relationship between therapist and patient is individual and implements a variety of treatments. Once a course of action is agreed upon, we’ll approach therapy by incorporating the whole mind-body approach.

That includes the relationship between mental, emotional, and physical health, along with incorporating nutrition, supplements, and exercise. Working together, you can create an improved lifestyle that supports your best life.

The process of a successful therapeutic relationship depends on your effort and our compatibility, along with clear boundaries and feeling safe.

I believe it’s essential to find the right therapist, and doing this takes a phone call, a first session, or a few sessions. I welcome you to schedule a complimentary call to explore a possible therapeutic relationship.

Life moves fast, and it is so easy to wake up and realize you are running on everyone else's schedule instead of your own. Do you ever feel completely scattered, wondering what happened to the vibrant person you used to be? I get it. Navigating the beautiful, messy chaos of a growing family and the relentless pressure to "juggle it all" is no joke. That exact season of life is what drove me to dive headfirst into specialized training in women's mental health. As a licensed counselor since 2017 holding a diagnostic license, I am fiercely passionate about being the anchor—and the support system—I wish I’d had. Whether you're navigating motherhood, identity shifts, or a major life transition, we’ll work together to help you step back into your power and find your footing again.

I specialize in relationship concerns, family conflict, anxiety, emotional regulation, parenting challenges, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem, and communication difficulties. I also work with couples who want to strengthen their emotional connection, rebuild trust, improve intimacy, and develop healthier ways of managing conflict.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each client’s needs. I incorporate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, family systems interventions, and Gottman-informed techniques. I strive to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful and lasting change.
