It just feels so comfort talking to him and engaging in conversation with him. It's like I've known him,all,my life! That's that kind of comfort level I feel when we link up for our session. Would highly recommend him to anyone else going through difficulties in life, no matter the situation.
Jospeh has hit the mark from the beginning- so insightful and extremely helpful in putting things into perspective
I came to Dr. James with issues mainly with connections, entrepreneurship and confidence and he is helping me soo much to be confident and to build connections. From the beginning of our meetings I have developed over 10 different connections with other moms. Most importantly the relationship with myself is improving. I am more vulnerable and self confident than ever! So we work throught hings like that and it is so helpful!
He does a great a Job at listening, communicating, as well giving you the space to just vent and get what you need off of your chest

James has been so helpful for my husband and I. We have done a complete 180 and my husband actually opens up and communicates during our sessions.
Without James in my life right now it would be continuing to spiral down a negative path. With his advice and conversations it’s nothing but up from here. He’s got such great advice and an approach to issues in someone’s life. Turning me into a better Husband/Father and Son! Best decision I’ve made this far continuing to speak with him and look forward to keeping on this path!
James listens very well and has been very insightful in helping to navigate my thoughts and ideas.
Jim has really helped us communicate in a healthy way with eachother, I believe he helped our marriage out completely, he’s respectful and understanding
James has been spot on with picking up the problems I'm facing in my life and my personal relationships. He's made it very easy for me to understand what I need to do to turn things around for me in the immediate and long term. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a straight talker and a shoulder to rely on.
James is wonderful at what he does
James is a truly stand up guy who greatly values both my time and my concerns. He's extremely helpful in helping me navigate the minefield of negative thoughts that have been pervasivly living in my head. I came to teen counseling expecting to have to go through multiple therapists to find one that would work well with me but when I landed on James and after our first session that expectation proved that it wasn't needed. James is a terrific human being through and through and I wouldn't be who I am today without him.
We have found it helpful to talk through our issues with Jim and he always listens and is respectful. We would recommend him to anyone.
He’s a really great listener, and I appreciate him greatly.

Throughout our sessions, James actively listened, offering insights that were both enlightening and thought-provoking.
What truly stands out about James is his genuine dedication to my progress. He tailored our discussions to my specific needs and concerns, and his expertise in various therapeutic techniques was evident as he skillfully guided me through challenges and helped me develop effective coping strategies.
James consistently provided resources, exercises, and tools to work on between appointments, which greatly enhanced the impact of our work together.
Thanks to James compassionate guidance, I have experienced significant personal growth, gained a deeper understanding of myself, and learned to navigate life's challenges with resilience and positivity. I wholeheartedly recommend James to anyone seeking a skilled and caring therapist who is genuinely invested in their clients' progress and well-being.
Jim is the best!
Jim is an extremely good listener and also provides very insightful feedback. I like that he is willing to give you moments during sessions to take a quiet pause and reflect before providing a response or continuing the conversation, often times those are moments of real breakthrough. He is professional, supportive, understanding, and experienced. I can’t say enough good things about Jim.
10/10 would recommend. Fantastic approach to therapy, very open and flexible
I am so glad to have been matched with Jim. Jim is caring, extremely knowledgeable and an utter professional. My wife and I talked with Jim while we are going through a divorce and Jim was able to dial in on aspects of our communication and behavior very quickly and offer some invaluable feedback. I am walking away from my experience with Jim being very grateful for his diagnostic acumen and for his sensitivity and care. Could not recommend highly enough.
James has been amazing so far and very reassuring. He has the experience needed that has helped guide my therapy sessions and makes me feel safe and heard.
James has been instrumental in help me and my partner start to move forward through our problems. He sees the positive and is knowledgeable. He is calm
and gentle. I will come back to James when therapy is needed again - no question.
He is very perceptive and engaging
I was very hesitant to do couples therapies through an app and not in person.. to my surprise , after out first session with James, I was amazed on how much we got done and how helpful it was. James is simply an amazing guy, he is friendly, down to earth, is smart, he asks the right questions directly and makes the space for us to be comfortable to open up with him and with each other. Thank you James for all you’ve done so far, my partner and I already feel so much closer and we look forward to continue our journey together getting better and better everyday with your help!

Absolutely amazing!
James is amazing, I feel a lot of relief after having my perspective listened to and validated by him. And I feel a great sense of encouragement from him to heal and grow. I think I might even be feeling happier - even if only slightly !
Knowledgeable counselors who listens. Great at helping me to see the full picture. I look forward to our sessions and his expertise.
Jim has been great so far. Always in communication, empathetic, and supportive.
Jim has been outstanding so far! Just had my third session with him and I’m really thankful I found him. He is supportive, empathetic, kind and you can tell he really cares. One of the things that I find helpful is that he just doesn’t agree with you but gives you practical steps to take and challenges you to find ways to understand who you are. He is helping me through one of the toughest valleys of my life. I truly appreciate how responsive he is as well. It’s not just the sessions but him taking time out of his day to send messages of encouragement and check on me. I’m a Christian and he has been supportive in my beliefs along the way and has been a blessing in my eyes so far. I look forward to continuing our sessions and see how he can help me through all of my struggles. Keep doing Gods work Jim!
James has been extremely compassionate and supportive during this time. He is has heard me out and is focused on us getting things right.
Jim is awesome and caring. I highly recommend.
James is an outstanding therapist, great with listening and offering useful and accurate observations and opinions highly recommended
2 sessions in and I am very much enjoying my time. Looking forward to more.
Very understanding and helpful
Three sessions in. I feel heard and my thought processed challenged. Unlike going to the dentist, this “doctor visit” is something I find myself anticipating.
Great experience.
So far Jim has been a tremendous asset to my 17 year old son and I.My son likes talking to him and takes his advise.
Jim is great ! He really listens and I can really express myself when talking to him.
teencounseling.com is a literal life saver! I was pushed here over an event that greatly upset me and buried my confidence and self respect. And when I had prayed to God to send some sort of answer, he gave me the website, and this service gave me James Beaulieu! This man is a GENIUS! In not just the advice, but the way he talks to me inspires me to dig deep into my issues stemming from Childhood.
The Service itself has also been so great in working with me financially - with the economy the way it is, and the timing when I sought help, they have gone ABOVE AND BEYOND to ensure I have access to the help I need so I don't hinder my progress and growth!
As an Indie Filmmaker/Writer, you can bet that the lessons I am learning are being applied to help others, and I'll be taking the GOOD WORD and PRAISE of teencounseling.com and Mr. Beaulieu with me!
Thanks for everything, guys! I think I'll stay a while! :)
James is super kind and helpful. He is honest and respectful. Never had a therapist that I’ve felt this comfortable with. I don’t feel judge and he reminds me that we are humans and we make mistakes and that I shouldn’t be so hard on myself… and this is all only in one session. Can’t wait wait to see the results of working with him
