Our Professionals

Jim obtained his undergraduate degree from The Ohio State University and his master's degree from Capella University.  Jim is well versed in the skill training of anger management, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), person centered therapy, talk therapy, and many other approaches.  Jim prides himself on being an open and genuine person in the counseling relationship; many clients are quickly able to connect through that open approach, and begin to feel a trusting and safe relationship.  Jim opened Peaks and Valleys in order to better serve the area in which he was raised, but is excited to offer telehealth services, allowing Peaks and Valleys to extend services to anyone across the state of Ohio. He believes any individual who desires it, should have access to someone to talk to about life's stressors.  Jim is able to supervise new counselors and give professional guidance. By bringing in additional professionals, who in turn bring new backgrounds and fresh perspectives to the practice, we will be able to have even greater reach in the community and beyond!
