Our Bellingham office
Look at what keeps repeating
You may find yourself apologizing before you know what you think, pursuing someone who pulls away, or leaving a conversation as soon as it feels critical. Sometimes the pattern makes sense in the context of earlier experiences, even when it no longer helps.
We explore what you notice, what meaning you give it, and what you do next. The aim is to understand your experience while making room for responses that serve your relationships and values more effectively.
Boundaries, communication, and choice
Sessions may include recognizing resentment before it builds, asking for something specific, or setting a boundary you can actually maintain. You might practice separating what you know from what you assume about another person’s intentions.
The work does not depend on persuading someone else to change. It can help you clarify where you have influence, what responsibility is yours, and what choices remain when a relationship is difficult.
Individual work or couples sessions?
This page focuses on therapy for one person. If both partners want help understanding conflict and working on the relationship together, the Couples Therapy page explains that format. The two kinds of work have different goals and should be discussed with your clinician.
James works with relationship and family patterns alongside anxiety, ADHD, and trauma. Our Bellingham practice can help you discuss clinician fit and the starting point that makes sense for you.
