Hi, I'm James Greenwald, a licensed professional counselor with 10+ years of experience in both private practice and public mental health services here in North Texas. I'm a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary, and my training centers on concepts and skills from dialectical behavioral and family systems models of therapy. I specialize in assisting clients struggling with depression, anxiety, patterns of addiction, life transitions, boundaries, and various levels of trauma recovery.
I’ve worked in a variety of mental health fields, including inpatient & outpatient psychiatric programs, residential treatment facilities, & a handful of private practices. These experiences have given me a multi-faceted view of the spectrum of care for mental health. I believe it has allowed me to truly understand every side of mental health treatment.

I am dual licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor. I have extensive experience working in private practice and residential treatment for addiction and severe mental health. In addition to my MA for counseling I also have a Master of Theology and enjoy working with individuals navigating their spirituality.
I’m a licensed clinical psychologist whose work is grounded in evidence-based, compassionate care. I completed advanced graduate training in clinical psychology, followed by supervised work in outpatient and higher-acuity settings, where I treated adults and adolescents with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties.
In my practice, I primarily use approaches like CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed therapies, integrating them in a way that’s tailored to each person rather than one-size-fits-all. I pay close attention to cultural and contextual factors, and I use measurement-based care so we can see whether treatment is actually helping you over time.
Clients often describe me as understanding, direct, and collaborative: I’ll bring structure and clinical expertise while also respecting your pace and values. I work with individual adults (and in some cases teens) who are dealing with issues like chronic stress, perfectionism, identity and life transitions, grief, and the impact of past traumatic experiences.
My goal is to provide a space that is both validating and change-focused; somewhere you can be fully honest, feel understood, and also develop practical skills to live in a way that feels more aligned with who you want to be

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Arlington, TX
Finding addiction therapists in Arlington starts with identifying the kind of support that fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, gambling, compulsive behaviors, and concerns that overlap with anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship stress. As you compare therapists, look for training in approaches such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-assisted care. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.
Arlington offers a range of mental health care options, with access to nearby communities across the Dallas-Fort Worth area and virtual appointments that can expand your choices. Recovery can change over time, so it helps to find a therapist who uses a respectful, non-judgmental approach and has experience with harm reduction or substance use care. You may also want to compare appointment availability, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you see how they describe their style, specialties, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Arlington can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway makes it easier to compare addiction therapists who are accepting new patients, review their profiles, enter your insurance details, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront. From there, you can browse therapists, review fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
