I am James P. Cole, husband, father and Clinical Psychologist specializing in Child and Family Law Psychology.
My mission is to make a meaningful contribution to the lives of others with whom I work; to promote the emotional, social and psychological development of my clients; and to enhance their ability to create and to love themselves and others.
My vision is to provide a safe, caring and confidential setting wherein the client and I can forge a trusting relationship with one another; to identify his goals and concerns; to uncover and mobilize his strengths and resources and use them to address the difficulties confronting him; to provide sound psychological services based on a thorough knowledge of relevant literature and a familiarization with current therapies.
"Where is the psychology that takes account of gaiety, exuberance, love and well being to the same extent that it deals with misery, conflict, shame and hostility?" A. Maslow
