Mr. James F. Pierce

Each of us has to make sense of our world. When things don't make sense we experience anxiety, depression, confusion or other difficulties. Therapy is directed at helping each individual more effective at dealing with their own unique situation. With couples each person is helped to represent themselves well while becoming increasingly sensitive to the concerns of their partner.

Weekly or bi-weekly sessions with a focused practice directed toward definite outcome goals which are jointly developed by the individual(s) and the therapist. Initial goal is to stop whatever damage is being done and then we move on to creating strategies which will improve the overall process.

This is a very private, gentle, supportive practice with a singular goal of helping people improve their lives. 14 years of public mental health experience together with 18 years in private practice have left me with confidence that I can help or know where to refer a case.
