Hi, I am James Bernard. I have spent the last 14 years helping people deal with a variety of challenges in their lives through education and counseling. And, I know, sometimes considering a change can be overwhelming. My journey started in Louisiana, where I grew up. I earned my undergraduate degree from LSU in 1994. I eventually relocated to the DFW Metroplex in 1998, at which time I worked in education and eventually education administration. While rewarding, I decided that I wanted to make a difference – in a different way. So, I went back to graduate school and completed my Licensed Professional Counselor education and training and earned my Master of Counseling  Education degree in 2006 from the University of North Texas. Since then I have worked in both inpatient, outpatient, and private practice settings. While I have worked with many ages providing multi-level care from crisis stabilization to path of purpose clarifications, I currently specialize working with adults providing individual and couples counseling.
