James CalderheadMarriage & Family Therapist, LMFT (he, him)

About

I have worked in the mental health field for more than 25 years providing services for children, individuals, couples & families from diverse populations & cultures. Many of the individuals & families I have worked with have faced problems with anxiety, depression, relationships, family discord, parenting, school/work problems, as well as trauma & abuse. I believe that individuals & families often possess the strengths, wisdom, & resources to uniquely solve their problems. Therapy is fertile ground for these strengths & solutions to surface & for real & lasting change to take place, often in a relatively short period of time. I earned my MFT degree at Pacific Lutheran University. I was trained in systems theory which not only focuses on the individual but also the interactions & relationships in which the individual lives. It is our relationships with family, friends & the outside world that often define us, our problems, & allow us to find solutions to overcome these problems.
