About

Hello and welcome! My name is Sigmund James and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to providing a warm, welcoming, and supportive space where clients feel safe to be themselves. I believe that every person deserves to be heard with compassion and respect, regardless of where they are in life's journey. My goal is to foster a trusting relationship where healing, personal growth, and hope can flourish.

Education & Licensure
Masters of Social Work from Touro College, New York, NY; Bachelors in Psychology from Medgar Evers College, CUNY, Brooklyn, NY.
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

My motivation for working with neurodivergent persons stems from my own journey of growing and learning with unique personal challenges. I am familiar with the difficulties of exploring one's own functional capacity whilst being resilient. Our diversity includes a range of social support and understanding, which significantly influences our experiences and self-perception. We remain optimistic through personal challenges.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

My motivation to help clients is rooted in a genuine desire to empower individuals to recognize their inherent strengths, overcome personal challenges, and develop a greater sense of self-awareness and emotional well-being. I believe every individual possesses the capacity for growth, resilience, and meaningful change, even when life circumstances make those qualities difficult to recognize. I am motivated by the opportunity to create a supportive, nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where clients feel heard, valued, and understood. Through empathy, compassion, active listening, and a strengths-based approach, I strive to help clients identify their existing resources, build confidence, develop healthier coping strategies, and recognize their ability to navigate adversity.
