Social Worker

Hello, I am Dr. James Watson, currently, I am supervisee in clinical social work at our Alexandria, VA clinic. Previously, I have counseled adolescent and adult clients, within outpatient, residential and partial hospitalization settings. I specialize in supporting clients to work through psychological and behavioral maladaptive challenges. My clinical approach is a person-centered strength-based approach where collective ly we can address your issues and improve your overall wellbeing.

Together, we will develop a safe space for you to articulate your thoughts and emotions, through interventions like narrative therapy. Moreover, CBT is a proven approach to support individuals coping with cognitive distortions and fault belief systems. I am great listener and I counsel with empathy and human compassion.

I believe human connection is an important part of the healing process. Likewise, I found building a great rapport is fundamental the foundation for a good client-therapist relationship. I am excited about the opportunity to work with you on your journey towards wellness.
