James Naylor

Hi, my name is James Naylor. I am a US licensed professional counselor who takes a humanistic approach to therapy working with clients from all over the world. I have lived as an expat for ten years with the past four being in Brazil. I have helped expatriates through the process of acclimatizing to new cultures, worked with high school students on issues related to the IB program, and counseled individuals from different cultures all over the world.

I started my practice working with common issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress. Over the years I have focused my education and training in the areas of crisis and trauma counseling. I take an existential approach to therapy where the client plays an active role in the process and I often incorporate mindfulness into the resolution of the challenges being experienced by my clients.
