James Urbany

James Urbany, LCSW, brings ten years of clinical practice in New Mexico focused on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, anger, and self esteem. His work also addresses a broad set of related challenges, including avoidant personality, body image, guilt and shame, impulsivity, intellectual disability, life purpose, multicultural concerns, post-traumatic stress, seasonal affective disorder, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, and workplace issues. He emphasizes the development of self-compassion and invites thoughtful exploration of personal goals and meaning.

Urbany uses a person-centered stance and draws on evidence-based practices to structure sessions around each person’s priorities. He strives to create a supportive setting where exploration of difficult emotions and past experiences can occur at a personally manageable pace. That approach is intended to help people notice patterns, strengthen coping options, and attend to values that guide daily choices.

He collaborates with individuals facing workplace stress, shifting relationship dynamics, identity questions, and post-traumatic recovery. His practice centers on listening and tailoring guidance to the concerns brought to session while honoring cultural context and individual strengths.
