Life can be challenging, and my hope is to encourage others through a compassionate lens. I enjoy working with families with adolescents and adult clients in various life stages who are seeking new ways to deal with life’s stressors, losses and challenges. Reaching out for help takes courage and trust, and I'm honored to be given the opportunity to help. Please email to schedule a 15-minute consultation and appointment. Please see my practice website at shadetreecounseling.org.
Recognizing the need for growth and change can feel intimidating, but taking that first step toward therapy shows courage and a willingness to invest in yourself. I create a warm, supportive space where clients can safely explore past and present experiences. Together, we work to understand patterns, emotions, and challenges that may be holding you back. I view therapy as a collaborative journey where we move at your pace while building insight, self-acceptance, and meaningful change. My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.
I am a LPC in private pratice. I have work with clients dealing with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and trauma. I utilize a combination of psychoeducation, skills-building, and talk therapy to help my clients achieve their goals. I have had the honor of working with people of all backgrounds and bringing cultural awareness to the therapeutic connection.
As a therapist, I believe that therapy should be anti-racist, LGBTQ+ and gender-affirming, intersectional, and inclusive.
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 graduated with my Masters in counseling in 2007. I believe we all need to validation and empathy in order to begin to make changes that last. I like to help women overcome loneliness, anxiety, depression, family troubles, divorce, kid challenges, etc but I also help men navigate these things too! I've worked with teenagers all the way to past retirement. I help individuals as well as couples and families. I believe real change is possible with some insight, willingness, and a little bit of tell me I'm not crazy for thinking this!
