James Engen

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist with over 14 years of experience.
I approach therapy from a Narrative Neuro-experiential viewpoint. You are not the issue – issues are getting in the way of you attaining your goals and your full life potential. All of us reflect where we have come from and that reflection is not necessarily where we want to end up. As you are able to see in my profile, I am trained in many modalities and we as a team will determine jointly what methods are employed to meet your needs and goals.
I also have a wide range of career experience – I have been a professional truck mechanic, a management assistant to the CFO of a large urban school district, a therapist to homeless individuals/families, and I have been in private practice helping individuals develop into who they want to be. My goal is to help you maximize your potential and capitalize on your strengths.

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For a range of common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes – online therapy has been found to be as effective as conventional in-person care for most people.

One major benefit of online work is flexibility. Clients can connect in the format that suits them best – video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.

Licensed professionals provide these services, and if someone decides they would like a different therapeutic match they can switch therapists at any time. Online therapy offers an adaptable way to get consistent support for everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
