Edward L James III – Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, ACSW, LMSW

My approach focuses on identifying and building upon the strengths each client brings to therapy. I support recovery while encouraging lifelong learning in relationships. I specialize in working with men of color, honoring the unique cultural and emotional challenges they may face as they develop effective relational communication strategies.

I also offer premarital consultations for couples seeking deeper connection, clarity, and a strong foundation as they prepare for long-term partnership or marriage.

As a Certified Telehealth Provider, I offer clinical services through a secure telehealth platform to meet your needs. I am a clinically trained, Arizona-licensed social worker dedicated to supporting the emotional growth of individuals and couples. I believe that trust in the professionalism and integrity of a relational therapist is essential for clients to envision real possibilities for healing, growth, and lasting stability.
I understand that seeking individual or relational therapy can feel deeply personal—and at times, even isolating. You may wonder, “Has anyone ever felt this way?” The truth is: you are not alone. Therapy is a space for both recovery and discovery. I invite you to reach out and explore what growth, healing, and relational stability can look like for you.
