Therapist in Glendale, Wisconsin James Holtz, Therapist

James Holtz is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin who has been practicing since 2015. He earned his Master’s Degree in Community Mental Health Counseling at UW-Milwaukee and his Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from UW-Stevens Point.

Often, clients struggle to understand themselves and their friends and families do too. James’s goal is to listen deeply and then earn a client’s trust and show that what they are experiencing makes sense considering their experience and context. Trust, care, validation, and emotional safety are the foundation for healing James provides. Then together you can start in on the therapeutic work of problem solving and making changes. Therapeutic modalities like CBT, ACT and DBT can work when there is a strong, safe therapeutic relationship first.

In his spare time, James enjoys cooking, long walks on the Milwaukee river with his wife, good movies and The Milwaukee Film Festival. He has been biking for years and is getting closer to being a real cyclist. Paddling, boats, camping and photography, too.
