More about James...

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker through the state of Minnesota and holds a master’s degree from Augsburg University. In 2017 I entered a group practice, JLS Consulting, specializing in chemical, mental, and sexual health. Prior to that I worked as a group therapist at Lighthouse Psychological Services, Inc., a mental health case manager at Minnesota Mental Health Clinics specializing in clients with depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and borderline personality disorder, and as a group and individual therapist specializing in sexual health at Cornerstone Therapy and Recovery Center. I am currently a therapist with Sexual Wellness Institute in Plymouth, MN and the SAT Project in New York, NY. I have worked closely and identify with the LGBTQ community as both a practitioner and an advocate and I was an adjunct faculty member of Augsburg University's Social Work department from 2018-2021. I am currently pursuing Emotionally Focused Therapy certification for relational work and researching and developing a book on relational aggression and toxic masculinity in gay men.

I am an effective practitioner and will work diligently alongside you to help you actualize your therapy goals!
