About
From the corporate boardroom to the counseling room, James Paseur brings a unique blend of professional experience and clinical expertise to his role as a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern. Specializing in crisis and trauma counseling, James combines his wealth of real-world knowledge with cutting-edge therapeutic techniques to offer clients a truly comprehensive approach to mental health care.
James' journey to becoming a therapist is as diverse as it is inspiring. Born in Alabama and raised in Michigan, he initially pursued a career in the corporate world, gaining invaluable experience across multiple industries including automotive, aerospace, defense, education, banking, and information technology. This varied background allows James to deeply understand and relate to the workplace stressors and challenges faced by many of his clients.
Academically, James holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology from Eastern Michigan University and a Master of Science Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a Specialization in Crisis and Trauma from Walden University. His clinical training includes a practicum at Memorial Hospital Jacksonville's Intensive Outpatient and Partially Hospitalized Behavioral Programs, as well as an internship at Recovery Counseling and More, Inc. These experiences have honed his skills in addressing a wide range of mental health concerns.
James' therapeutic approach is as multifaceted as his background. He draws heavily from cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and person-centered therapies, tailoring his methods to best suit each client's individual needs. His specialization in crisis and trauma is not just academic; it's personal. Having faced and overcome his own challenges, James brings a deep empathy and understanding to his work with clients navigating difficult life experiences.
What sets James apart is his global perspective, shaped by years of international experience. A three-year stint in Cairo, Egypt, where he set up a computer center and taught programming skills, broadened his cultural understanding and adaptability. This international exposure, combined with his study of various world religions and spiritualities, enables James to provide culturally sensitive and inclusive therapy.
James believes in the importance of work-life balance, a principle he not only preaches but practices. An avid traveler, scuba diver, runner, and music enthusiast, he understands the vital role of self-care and personal interests in maintaining mental health. This holistic view of wellness informs his therapeutic practice, encouraging clients to explore and develop all aspects of their lives.
At the core of James' practice is a simple yet powerful philosophy: care comes first. He knows that his extensive knowledge and experience are only valuable when coupled with genuine care for his clients. James is committed to creating a safe, supportive environment where clients can explore their challenges, discover their strengths, and work towards becoming their best selves.
