I have over 20 years experience working with adolescents and enjoy working with this age group. I see ages 14 years through the lifespan in-person or virtually.

I am trained in EMDR, a therapeutic treatment for trauma. I offer EMDR therapy to any clients, however, specifically for women who have experienced trauma and distress from a breast cancer journey. As a survivor, I know the emotional & physical toll chronic illness and treatment can take on an individual.

Hello! My name is James Newman. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University and have worked across different levels of care, including community mental health and crisis intervention. I am forever grateful that modern technology allows me to practice counseling remotely via telehealth, because it allows me the opportunity to provide counseling to people in a convenient way, including to some who may otherwise never be able to access counseling services.


Currently I provide counseling via telehealth, and it is my aspiration to be able to provide in-person counseling in the Grayson County area by 2027.
