About me

I have a master's degree from the University of Central Florida, in the field of Counselor Education. I have been licensed as a Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida since 2001. I have worked a combination of private practice, agency work as well as with the public school system. I am married, I have three children and one grandson. My foundation is that of a Person Centered Counselor, and important aspects of this include the use of empathy, unconditional positive regard and warmth. I also rely heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have a lot of experience working with adolescent children. The adolescent years are some of the most challenging of a persons life and I have a lot of experience helping teens and their parents navigate through these challenges. I find that a career as a counselor is a very fulfilling occupation and I truly enjoy helping individual's find a healthier path with their life.

In James Beller you will find a caring and easy to talk with therapist. He is a great listener with a way of helping you talk through what is happening in your life. If you are a Christian, he understands that you have a different perspective on life and respects that view. where you are a Christian or not, I would recommend you give him a try.

It’s been comforting to find a safe space to just…talk. James has given me an outlet I didn’t quite realize I needed. Highly recommend—he’s wicked smart and incredibly insightful.

James is a fantastic therapist. I had the pleasure of having two sessions with him, and both were the best I've had in years. He was professional, on-time, confident, and listened to me patiently. He is straightforward, no-nonsense, and knows exactly what he is doing. He helped outline a treatment plan for me and answered every question and thought I had without judgment. I loved each session and would highly recommend him to anyone.

James Beller has been God sent to us. I appreciate his ability to keep the session balanced by seeking the perspective of both parties. His ability to reflect back what each speaker says. And his ability to provide helpful information to widen our perspectives. I also appreciate his ability to speak truth when necessary. I have found James help incredibly helpful and appreciate his person-centered skills/ ability to listen well.
Thank you!

James is a calming therapist. You are quickly made aware that he listens well, because he asks questions that assure you he is engaged with the topics you discuss. He’s shown flexibility regarding his approach, in order to match what I needed. If you are open to his simple suggestions, you will find they can be thought-provoking, even if the ideas might have occurred to you before. He does not shed any negativity on things or people you discuss and offers constructive ways of moving past difficulties in your life.

Work with me!
