If you are living with substance use, grief, anxiety, depression, or have difficulty with personal boundaries, carrying that weight alone can feel overwhelming, but real support and relief are possible.
My name is James Fargnoli, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I support adults of all ages and backgrounds who are looking to change, heal, grow, and move forward through life’s difficult circumstances. Whether you are dealing with low self-esteem, mood swings, or challenges managing your mental health, I offer a compassionate and safe space where you can build insight into yourself while learning new perspectives into solving your problems.
My holistic perspective is shaped by a diverse professional background. Before providing care in hospitals, skilled nursing, and behavioral health settings, I spent 22 years as a chef in assisted living facilities. Those years reinforced my deep respect for the shared human experience, human resilience, and the essential connection between mind, body, and spirit.
In my practice, I blend compassion with evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Positive Psychology, and substance use recovery concepts. I believe deeply in creating a safe space where we can work together toward your personal goals.
