And it is worth every second of it.” As a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) specializing in trauma, betrayal, compulsive sexual behavior and intimacy avoidance, James not only believes in sustainable emotional health and recovery—he lives it within his family, community and clinical practice. “It's not enough to just get sober,” James tells his clients. “It’s about getting WELL, choosing health over sickness, every single time. It’s about treating others—including your highest self—better than you did while living as an active addict, or 'actor.'
