Comments from Jim Metcalf about his approach to helping others ...

Like most therapists I am skilled in working with people's concerns about depression and anxiety. However, I especially enjoy the challenge of working with adults who have marriage or family problems, as well as with child and parenting issues. I see my work as a pastor and my work as a therapist bound together by a common gracious acceptance of people. I enjoy helping people achieve greater peace within themselves and their relationships.
