James Wasenda

MA, LMHC

For 29 years I have been fortunate enough to work with adults, children and families to help them to resolve personal conflict, parenting and behavioral problems.

My training has been dedicated to helping children and adolescents of all ages work through emotional and behavioral issues that affect their school functioning, social relationships and the strength of their relationship with their parents. I have also diligently enjoyed working with adults and couples in helping them to face specific circumstances in life and finding the right tools to address any problem that they may encounter.
