James Dignan

James Dignan is a dedicated limited licensed psychologist who believes that counseling is an investment in lifelong positive change. He emphasizes the importance of developing emotional safety within primary relationships, as this foundational security leads to a higher quality of life. Through fostering emotional safety, individuals can achieve deeper intimacy with others, enhancing their overall sense of security and contentment. In addition to his expertise as a psychologist, James holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Biblical Education, which informs his holistic approach. He recognizes that damaged relationships are often part of the human experience, and employs a variety of techniques—Biblical, Spiritual, Cognitive, Behavioral, and Psychodynamic—to create tailored interventions that address the unique needs of each client. For James, the sacrificial death of Jesus symbolizes the pathway to restored spiritual intimacy with God, which parallels the pursuit of emotional intimacy among individuals. By cultivating an emotionally safe environment, clients are empowered to openly address their concerns, facilitating the creation of actionable plans that meet the needs of everyone involved.
