Hi, I'm Micaela James (she/her), a therapist at Modern Wellness Family Counseling. I primarily work with adults, couples, teens and families. I feel it is a special responsibility and privilege to walk alongside people as they navigate life's challenges, relationships, and personal growth.
I have a special passion for helping individuals heal from the past and current pains of life as well as supporting through life transitions. This could include wanting to work through anxiety, depression, sexual trauma, and/or substance use challenges. I also have a love for helping people navigate relationship and family conflicts, or people who are ready to explore and challenge family-of-origin patterns. I also enjoy supporting expecting parents, new parents, and postpartum mothers as they adjust to the many emotional, relational, and identity changes that can come with pregnancy, childbirth, and parenthood.
I believe that our experiences and relationships play a significant role in shaping who we are. Life can bring pain, loss, trauma, hardship, and unexpected challenges that often feel overwhelming. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe being yourself and sharing your story. I strive to approach each client with genuine curiosity, compassion, and respect, while helping them build insight, resilience, and confidence in their ability to create meaningful change.
I am trained in a variety of therapy approaches for individuals, couples, and families, and I work collaboratively with clients to find an approach that best fits their unique needs, goals, and strengths. Whether you are navigating a difficult season, healing from past experiences, transitioning to parenthood, or seeking greater connection and balance in your life, I look forward to supporting you on your journey.
