James Phan

Life can feel like a puzzle—one where the pieces don’t quite fit, or the picture keeps changing just when you think you’ve figured it out. Maybe you’re wrestling with past experiences, trying to find direction, or just looking for a space where you don’t have to carry everything alone. If that sounds familiar, I get it. I’ve been there too, and I know the difference it makes to have someone who truly listens.

Therapy That Fits You, Not the Other Way Around
I’m An, but I also go by James. My own journey with mental health struggles led me to this work, and now, I help others navigate their own. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy because, honestly, life isn’t that simple. Instead, I focus on what works for you—whether that’s exploring patterns of thought, processing past events, or figuring out what truly matters in your life.

I work primarily with adults, including veterans, and create a space where you can talk openly without fear of judgment. My role isn’t to tell you what to do but to help you untangle the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that may be weighing you down.

More Than Just Talking—A Path Forward
Therapy isn’t just about venting—it’s about understanding yourself in a way that leads to real change. We’ll work together to find tools and perspectives that make your challenges feel more manageable. My approach is grounded in curiosity, conversation, and practical strategies, helping you reconnect with your sense of purpose and direction.

A Little About Me
I’m a sci-fi and philosophy enthusiast, an anime fan, and someone who’s always looking for the next great story—whether in a book, a conversation, or a new place to explore. I have two dogs who keep life interesting, and when I’m not working, you’ll probably find me hunting down the best Asian food in town or planning my next trip to a state or national park. (I’ve got a long way to go, but I’m determined to see them all!)

Let’s Figure This Out Together
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just need someone to help you sort through the noise, I’m here. Therapy is about having someone in your corner—someone who sees you, listens, and helps you find your way forward.
