James Phillion
I specialize in helping early-mid career high achieving adults struggling with heartbreak, relationship patterns, dating challenges, grief, and attachment trauma find lasting emotional relief. If you’re feeling stuck in rumination, emotional triggers, or painful relationship patterns, therapy with me focuses on deep healing, nervous system regulation, and creating secure attachment from the inside out.
Areas of Expertise
Therapeutic Approach
My approach is semi-structured and compassionately direct. I prioritize letting the client speak, while offering feedback with permission. I integrate my training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and neuroscience informed treatment to resolve trauma at its root. I am also a certified grief educator. Some sessions we might talk more casually, while in other sessions I might encourage you to turn your attention internally and really slow down. Experiential therapy can seem odd at first, but brings lasting changes people really deserve.
