About

James Palazzolo creates a space for meaningful, memorable, and often even enjoyable conversations that help people work through complicated healing issues. He focuses on building trust so clients can share vulnerabilities without fear of judgment and explore new perspectives for long-standing problems.

He believes a person’s motivation and resilience are central to improving life, and his role is to help clients discover the best answers for their healing. His therapeutic style is interactive and generally short-term - most work takes place over 7 to 15 sessions.

James uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address loss, grief, and the pursuit of a purposeful life, emphasizing how changing thoughts can lead to different behaviors and outcomes. He is convinced every second of life is work - and with a positive, rational perspective people can learn to appreciate that work.

Based in Oregon, James is a gay, non-religious male therapist and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (OR LCSW L15367). He has 10 years of experience and works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and LGBTQ-related concerns. Although he can work with many people, much of his experience has focused on grief, intimacy, and issues related to LGBTQI+ identity.
