James Fiesta, LCSW

I’ve known Jim for over the last 10 years and he has helped my family and especially myself out tremendously with the thorough work he provides during each of his sessions. He has given me such good tools, resources, and strategies to use to help me improve my mental health. Words truly can’t describe how amazing he is at what he does and how grateful I am for what he has done to help me during my time of need! I can’t recommend him enough if you’re in search of someone to help you throughout your journey!

At the end of my first visit, Jim offered me a glimpse into a future I could barely imagine. It was hard to believe in that possibility. I couldn’t see my life getting better. Through thoughtful questions and gentle guidance, he helped me identify my issues, recognize flaws in my thinking and the self-imposed limits holding me back. Jim’s approach is compassionate and nonjudgmental. Each session has brought new insights. I needed practical strategies and he had dozens of them. Maybe more. Together, we've tackled long-standing problems that once seemed insurmountable. My emotional well-being and stress levels have significantly improved. Thanks to Jim's support, my life has vastly improved. I’m grateful for his encouragement and guidance, and I’m so glad I stayed with him.

We are so fortunate to have chosen Jim for family counseling.His blend of knowledge, experience, compassion, patience and humor were a blessing. I wish I could properly summarize the growth, insight and healing we gained over our months of meeting with Jim. He was able to address individual anxiety, depression and communication issues while creating a healthier parent- adult child relationship.I certainly will call on him again if in need, and I absolutely would refer any of our family or friends to do the same. Thank you Jim, for everything

I’m not sure everything I can summarize of what Mr Fiesta has taught me. Mr Fiesta helped me with the loss of my dad that was barely touched with other therapists. Anytime I was feeling whatever emotion Mr Fiesta and I discussed what I was feeling. I can never thank Jim enough for everything he has taught me through the years. Jim helped address a lot of dysfunction, people manipulated and controlled me. I finally have a much better life due to the tools Jim gave me in 7years of therapy and see him as needed. I have tried other therapists before Jim and they weren’t educating me and giving me the tools for a better life. If you ever need a therapist I highly recommend Jim and his level of education to help people have a better life. Great guy and therapist

Dr. Fiesta is super easy to talk to and very understanding to your specific needs. He helped me tremendously and I continue to use him as needed.

Jim was very personal, caring and honest up front. Very very positive. We met in office and also Telehealth. It don’t seem like he’s trying to trick you when in session almost like your talking to a friend. I’d highly recommend him to anyone.

James immediately showed he understood what I was experiencing and thinking, and feeling. He just "got it." This gave me the confidence and drive to see counseling through this time. I had tried several times in the past but quit after only a few sessions. Everything James offered as to what may be the cause of my negative self image, insecurity in relationships, or just letting others steel my thunder was exactly what I needed and received. I am happy everyday and can answer what I like to do. I don't second guess myself and I feel in control. So can you. James Fiesta helped me when I thought I couldn't be helped or that it was too late for me. Just the opposite. A whole new life is ahead of me. Thank you, James.

When I first started seeing Jim I did not have a specific issue I wanted to address. I just wanted to see if there was anything I could work on to be the best version of myself. Through our sessions Jim has helped me identify and address so many aspects of my life that I could work on and that helped me be successful and happy in my personal life, romantic life and career. Thanks for everything you do Jim!

James was crucial in helping me work through my grief after the sudden sudden loss of my father. He always let me talk and cry and just feel my emotions. Never overstepping or offering unwanted advice! I would highly recommend! Therapy is a good thing!

Jim helped me work through a divorce and addiction. He provided guidance and insight. My self esteem and confidence was rebuilt. I felt safe and grounded throughout my time in therapy.

My experience with Jim Fiesta truly helped me find guidance in my life. I was struggling with my parents divorce when I first saw him, and he has extremely useful information and had great tips on how to cope and deal with different situations. He also had great resources that he provided to me and was always in a great mood and was always happy to see me. I would recommend this to anyone who needs help and doesn’t know where they’re going in life. This man has truly helped me find my path in life and I will be grateful for the rest of my life that I was able to have this experience.

My experience with Jim was truly life-changing. Therapy was never something that I looked forward to. After a couple of months had passed by, I really started to see the changes that Jim had helped me to make. I had tried seeking help throughout my teenage years and into early adulthood. Those experiences did not compare to my work with Jim. He helped me in so many ways and if need be, I will be back to see him.

Jim was the absolute greatest counselor or mental health professional I have ever been in contact with. Truly, no one measures up to him— the services he and his dog, Jack, provided to me, were truly life changing. I started to see Jim as a young, awkward kid who tried too hard to stand out. I was truly miserable and I refused to acknowledge my emotions. By the time he encouraged me to see a grief therapist instead, I had become far more confident. I was happier, and I talked about my feelings. Through five years of funny accents and changing the subject, Jim helped me become who I am today. He encouraged me in my studies and helped me to find my passion in them. If I hadn’t started to see Jim at 14, I would be a very different person.

Highly recommend. I have been to multiple therapists in the past and I have never been able to connect on the level that I have connected with James. He understands and provides clear insight on topics and issues that I thought would be difficult for someone on the outside to understand. The way he draws conclusions and pinpoints the source of issues is remarkable. He really hits the nail on the head and I am confident in saying he will be able to help you through any issues you may be encountering.

Prior to starting counseling, I didn’t seem like the best candidate. I was successful, charismatic, great family, but under that I was unhappy and insecure, I have learned that I was unhappy with myself. Learned. How profound? The things giving me anxiety I controlled, sounds simple but it’s a hard fact to face alone. Something that would have never happened if I didn’t take the leap into uncomfortable. I like who I see in the mirror these days... all of my relationships are better because of it. None of this would have been possible if I didn’t take a long hard look at myself and get off the ferris wheel of complacency. It also takes the most compatible counterpart, and with a different counselor I don’t know that I would be saying this. Meeting with a therapist is much like any other relationship in that you have to vibe, trust each other, respect each other, and values each other’s opinion or this experience will be a dissatisfying one. If the thought crosses your mind, do it!

I would recommend Jim in a heartbeat. I was in a very dark place. I knew I needed to talk to someone but was unsure of how to go about it. I met with Jim once before spending a few day in the hospital. I continued to meet with Jim after my hospitalization. He helped me cope with an illness I was diagnosed with and he helped me understand it. He was with me through my entire journey. Jim is very easy to talk to but he will tell you if he thinks you’re wrong. There were a few times he was hard on me but it’s because I needed it. There were also times that he would praise me. Jim helped me gain confidence and helped me to look past the words “mental illness”. I’m so grateful for my outcome. I have decreased my amount of visits with Jim however I know if I ever needed help with anything he’ll be right there. I highly recommend Jim to anyone.

I have been using Jim's services for over a year now. Unlike my past experiences working with mental health specialists, my time with Jim has been enjoyable, beneficial, and effective in working through my challenges. His methodologies are individualized and reinforced with evidence-based practices. Jim's demeanor is pleasant, welcoming and patient. His strategies have been extremely valuable in strengthening relationships with myself and family. Really appreciate the ease in scheduling an appointment and the timely meeting reminders and notifications! A sincere 'thank you', Jim!
