Total Life Counseling Center

I attended an Anger Management class with Katherine and found it very helpful! I came out of the class with more confidence to manage my feelings, as well as plenty of supplementary material to keep progressing on my own. Highly recommend to anyone who struggles with their anger to take the class

Jim and his team offer comprehensive counseling services to individuals, couples, and families looking to grow and change. Jim's expertise working with kids and teens with ADHD has been life-changing for so many families, and his Gottman-trained couples therapists offer real hope for relationship transformation. Give their office a call, and they'll get you connected with the right therapist for your needs!

Jim West is an amazing counselor and has had a huge impact on my 17-year old son’s life. His recommendations, encouragement, guidance and support was exactly what was needed as we were trying to navigate through a difficult time. Jim makes speaking with him comfortable and my teen listens to him more than to me :) (But I trusted Jim’s leading and expertise.) Valerie Ware also helped us a lot with assessments. She’s kind and patient and took the time to speak with us about the process. Fiorella at the front desk is super helpful each time I needed to make or change appointments. Thanks, TLC! Note: We did a lot of our appointments as a video call, which is a great option if you don’t live near their office!

Jim and the wonderful team at Total Life Counseling Center have changed my son's life. He started the high school social skills classes this year and within weeks he was making new friends at school left and right. His confidence grew and grew, his independence soared, and he's learned so many valuable social and conversation skills. Jim's laid back, natural style is very effective in helping kids with social skills deficits in a way that is fun and inclusive. Each class has a general theme, but generally it is the only social skills class I have ever been able to find that works with kids in a natural, "as it happens" kind of way. Every other social skills class I have researched was always a set number of sessions with a specific outline. This class is ongoing, pay as you go, come when you can and we love it. The added bonus is that my son is also making friends with all the kids in social skills class. We have gotten together for group outings and now us parents are becoming friends too! We have met some really wonderful people through this group, and it has been so fun and refreshing to get together and discuss with other parents what you've been through, what you've tried, what's worked, what hasn't and generally just be able to finally realize that we are not alone. All the things we thought we were the only ones that were experiencing? All these different trials and turbulations having a kid on the spectrum? Well, finds out we're not alone! In fact, at one event, I nearly spit soda out my nose I was laughing so hard when we realized that we've all been through the same crazy things. My son recently started his first job and we made sure to let Jim and his team know that we understand that they have played a big role in making this happen for him. I wouldn't have believed it if someone would have told me that my son would be working nearly full-time hours this summer in a job he loves, making friends at work, school and social skills class, having the confidence and independence to do all these things - on his own. It is truly remarkable, and we owe a lot of it to Jim and the team at Total Life Counseling Center.

Jim West has been great. We took our son to him for an evaluation, and he was able to get him interacting right away. Jim seems to have a gift for helping kids, and getting through to them. He also gave us, as parents different tools, and techniques to use when communicating with our son. It’s always better when the whole family works together, rather than just put all the responsibility on the child. We would recommend Jim West for any family therapy.
