About James "Jim" Runnels

I am a semi-retired Professional Counselor working two days a week (Mondays and Wednesdays, sorry for any inconvenience) assisting clients in resolving stress and anxiety, self-esteem, anger, resentment, and guilt issues. Do you ever think to yourself, “I’m disappointed with myself; I wish I felt better about myself, I’ve lost myself in this relationship” or “I’m not good enough?” You know this struggle isn’t necessary because you also have times when you are very pleased with yourself, and satisfied with your decisions and actions. Both your failures and successes often result from the beliefs that you have about yourself; what we call identity or self-concept. Your self-concept directs your behaviors towards who you believe you are. Imagine what it will be like with a sense of self that is accurate, durable and positive. You will experience more kindness and compassion towards yourself and at the same time not lose yourself in important relationships. Become the person you want to be – learn a series of simple steps that will strengthen the qualities in yourself that you like, and change the qualities that you don’t like, so that you can have a much better and more satisfying life. I look forward to assisting you in this journey
