Jim G.

Business Owner

You’ll notice that my background is a little different from that of most people in my profession, in that I haven’t always been a therapist. In fact, I spent the first twenty years of my professional life in the business world, primarily in business consulting. During those years I experienced a lot — both professionally and personally — that helped prepare me for what I do now.

It took a lot of work and personal sacrifice to make such a major career transition half-​way through life, but the rewards have far exceeded my expectations. I love my work, and it’s great to be in private practice near my home, (the easiest commute I’ve ever had) providing counseling and psychotherapy services for individuals and couples. I have lived in the Barrington area since 1992, and plan to remain here for the balance of my life.
