Tariq James, LPC

As a native Philadelphian and lifelong fan of all things Philly sports, I bring the grit and authenticity of our city into my work as a therapist. Therapy wasn’t always in my plans, but my path led me to Cheyney University, the nation's first Black college, where I completed my undergraduate studies. From there, I earned my Master's degree in Counseling Psychology in 2016.

After years of working in different treatment settings with a wide range of clients, I launched my private practice in 2022 with one goal in mind: to break the mold of what people expect from therapy. I know that many people avoid therapy because they don’t want to sit in a room talking endlessly without seeing results. I’m not about that no results life—I'm here to help you get the outcomes you’re after.

My approach is direct, goal-oriented, and tailored to what you need. Whether we’re working through relationship issues, navigating anxiety, or tackling defensive communication, my focus is on practical solutions that create real change. I believe therapy should help you feel empowered to take action in your life, not just talk about problems.

I’m especially passionate about working with individuals and couples from underserved and overlooked communities. Therapy isn’t just about talking; it’s about transforming your life. Let’s get to work—reach out today to take the first step.
