About Me

Hello, my name is James Watza and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW).  I have experience working with adults and adolescents.  I particularly love helping people who feel "stuck" in damaging behavioral patterns to break free and find freedom and truth.  I taught high school for 5 years before becoming a clinician and as a result adolescents are close to my heart.  I also work with adults and have found that to be an incredibly rewarding
​experience.  
Coming in March I will only be available for telehealth appointments. 

I have a passion for helping people find hope and healing.  Our world is often a bleak place, full of misery and suffering, but it is also one of beauty and wonder.  My goal as a therapist is to help people find the beauty and hope around them and to be able to see that there is more than the current circumstances they find themselves in.

My clinical approach is primarily rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).  I incorporate elements from a variety of other methods but have a strong focus on attachment issues and their understanding in order to heal family and relationship wounds.  I am also trained in and practice under the Trauma Informed Care approach.
