PROFESSIONAL ENDORSEMENTS



"Greetings! I wanted to take my time here to really encourage people to have the same experience that I did with Elizabeth. I was searching for what I really needed in my life, which was a good therapist/life coach/Christian background, perfect! We spoke and by the time we ended our call, I already felt like I was heading in the right direction with more clarity. Elizabeth has such a calm demeanor, yet there is something very attentive about her.

I didn't want our conversation to end! We said a very special prayer together, which lifted my spirits. I even had confirmation on a couple of different things that were heavy on my heart for a while now. If you’re looking for a kind, compassionate person with common sense who is a strong believer in Christ and His Wisdom, Elizabeth is the right choice!"

For all those seeking therapy,

I have had the pleasure of working with Elizabeth James. At first, I was skeptical about finding a counselor, as this is new for me. I didn’t feel that I would be understood and was a little unsure how much I was willing to share. I realized I was seeking help but was unclear if this choice was going to work.

I was seeking a counselor on the web and came across Elizabeth. I saw that she is a pastoral counselor and since I am a strong Christian woman, I thought I would give it try. I called Elizabeth, still unsure if this was a fit for me and a bit anxious, I told her that I would get back to her. Elizabeth called me back quickly after my hesitant reply and I am so happy that she did!

First she asked my concerns and after a full conversation with Elizabeth I soon realized that this was the best option for me; all my fears subsided. She made me feel comfortable because she was so kind and easily approachable. Best of all she too is a strong Christian woman.

I have been extremely blessed to have the opportunity to work with Elizabeth. She has wealth of advice and is always great at communicating this with her client. I now feel a warmth of a friend as her client because she is extremely at ease in talking with her client.

I feel that she understands my situation and has helped me immensely!
Elizabeth also shares many of her resources to help me with the stress of living in this non-Christian world.

I was also fearful at the start because I wasn’t sure of her religious affiliation but soon I realized that we share the same values and religious views. I am an Orthodox Christian and she is Catholic. I told Elizabeth that she reminds me a lot of my sister and how there is no one I love more and appreciate more than my sister.

I cannot express enough how I have been so blessed to find Elizabeth and to always feel comforted in knowing that at any time she is available to help and/or just be there to listen.

Best of all, she ends the session with a prayer and words of wisdom. I would strongly recommend Elizabeth to anyone seeking help and you will see what mean shortly after speaking to her.

May God bless you too in your journey with Elizabeth and healing

I've been lucky enough to find Elizabeth James. I have only recently come back to the Catholic faith with her encouragement and have taken this decision seriously. It's difficult to admit that I have been to a few therapists before, but it's important to understand how the decision to take my faith as a Catholic seriously informed my decision for her counseling. The previous therapists all approached counseling from a secular and clinical angle, which until recently would not have been a concern.

As well, in my prior experiences with counseling there was a fundamental lack by them to address professional or career-oriented assistance; this topic had been consistently under addressed.

Elizabeth's understanding, kindness, and empathy have been important to my growth and betterment. To begin I was skeptical and fearful at what she thought of me. I had a few moments of hesitation but her understanding, and patience were strong enough to help me put my fears to the side and see clearly, I had support. She always has great advice and it's always easy to be open and be honest with her.

If your open to an integrated experience including faith Elizabeth will place emphasis on prayer. Putting my faith first has been a blessing. I have a long way to go but I have made the right first step.

I can certainly recommend Elizabeth to anyone who is truly seeking help.

God Bless You,
