James Garvey, MA, LPC, LPCS

I have over 35 years of experience as a therapist, with extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and their families. Throughout my career, I have helped clients navigate behavioral, emotional, developmental, and family challenges, including Autism Spectrum Disorder, behavioral disorders, and trauma.

I am dedicated to providing personalized care and effective interventions tailored to each client's individual needs. I believe therapy should provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their challenges, recognize their strengths, and work toward meaningful goals.
