James McKowen, Ph.D.
As a clinical psychologist, I counsel youth and young adults experiencing a range of mental health challenges to build health, resilience, and coping. I also provide parent guidance sessions and family therapy to those seeking effective ways to navigate challenging behaviors in their children and address family stressors. Finally, I am trained in climate-informed therapy for individuals seeking specialty counseling related to the distress associated with the climate crisis.
In addition to therapy, I conduct research in mental health, raise awareness about the health impacts of climate change through speaking and writing collaborations, and provide consultation to organizations seeking to enact climate-conscious sustainability projects using behavioral strategies, and

Never forget that you are one of a kind. Never forget that if there weren’t any need for you in all your uniquness to be on this earth, you wouldn’t be here in the first place. And never forget, no matter how overwhelming life’s challenges and problems seem to be, that one person can make a difference in the world. In fact, it is always because of one person that all changes that matter in the world came about. So be that one person.
