JAMES FITZGERALD, PSYD

What is your philosophy in psychotherapy?

I believe that personal growth and healing emerge in the context of a supportive relationship where clients feel safe to explore how they relate to themselves and others. With greater understanding of patterns contributing to struggles, clients can begin to develop new responses that help them navigate our complex social world in a way that is personally and relationally fulfilling.

What approaches do you use to help your clients?

My approach to therapy is relational and grounded in psychodynamic and attachment theories. From this foundation, I pull from acceptance and commitment, mentalization-based, and behavioral techniques to meet each client’s unique needs.

What are your areas of expertise and clients you work well with?

I have worked with a diversity of clients with various concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorders, personality disorders, and gender and sexuality concerns. I work well with clients who struggle interpersonally, those struggling with perfectionism, and those navigating identity concerns across different life stages. 

What’s your therapeutic style with your clients?

My style is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and the recognition that each person is trying their best within the circumstances they have been afforded. I strive to develop a strong, trusting, and collaborative relationship where clients feel empowered to share all the thoughts and feelings that are difficult to express elsewhere. I often focus on emotional experiences, strengths, beliefs about self and others, important relationships, and interpersonal difficulties. My goal is to help clients develop a way of living that is flexible, sustainable, and uniquely their own.

What languages do you speak?

English.
