James Broadnax, MEd

Psychotherapist

“Welcome! My name is James Broadnax. I utilize a trauma-informed, evidenced based, psychodynamic approach to promote hope, healing, and lasting growth for the clients I have the privilege of serving.”

About Me

If you are seeking deeper understanding and lasting change, I offer a space where you can gently explore your experiences. My trauma-informed, psychodynamic approach helps us uncover how past events might shape your present. We work together to process difficulties, fostering genuine hope and growth. This method is ideal for those ready to make sense of their story and build a more resilient future.

Approach

Mapping how earlier hurts shape today's reactions guides how I listen and respond, attending to feelings, body cues, and the small decisions that keep patterns alive. In my Homewood office I offer sessions in English with a calm, steady rhythm that balances reflection and forward movement. We alternate careful exploration with practical skill-building—tracking triggers, rehearsing safer responses, and using short between-session reflections to cement change. This way of working often fits people wrestling with anxiety, anger, addiction, or mood shifts who want clearer control and deeper understanding.
