Jim and the wonderful team at Total Life Counseling Center have changed my son's life. He started the high school social skills classes this year and within weeks he was making new friends at school left and right. His confidence grew and grew, his independence soared, and he's learned so many valuable social and conversation skills. Jim's laid back, natural style is very effective in helping kids with social skills deficits in a way that is fun and inclusive. Each class has a general theme, but generally it is the only social skills class I have ever been able to find that works with kids in a natural, "as it happens" kind of way. Every other social skills class I have researched was always a set number of sessions with a specific outline. This class is ongoing, pay as you go, come when you can and we love it. The added bonus is that my son is also making friends with all the kids in social skills class. We have gotten together for group outings and now us parents are becoming friends too! We have met some really wonderful people through this group, and it has been so fun and refreshing to get together and discuss with other parents what you've been through, what you've tried, what's worked, what hasn't and generally just be able to finally realize that we are not alone. All the things we thought we were the only ones that were experiencing? All these different trials and turbulations having a kid on the spectrum? Well, finds out we're not alone! In fact, at one event, I nearly spit soda out my nose I was laughing so hard when we realized that we've all been through the same crazy things. My son recently started his first job and we made sure to let Jim and his team know that we understand that they have played a big role in making this happen for him. I wouldn't have believed it if someone would have told me that my son would be working nearly full-time hours this summer in a job he loves, making friends at work, school and social skills class, having the confidence and independence to do all these things - on his own. It is truly remarkable, and we owe a lot of it to Jim and the team at Total Life Counseling Center.

Pedro is an excellent therapist...such a calming and encouraging nature. Highly recommend!

Jim & Dana are the most wonderful people in the world. I highly recommend Total Life Counseling Center and can't stress enough how helpful you will find it if you go to them for any type of counseling!

Valerie is a great counselor. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed during the exams. I was a little nervous and concerned about the results. I had been looking for some help for a long time. She was able to give me a good evaluation and put me on the path to improving my life. Her insight and attention to details helped me learn more about myself and how I can deal better with problems and others. Thank you.

Jim and his team have been a God send! Our son has been cared for and built up for the last two years and boy has he grown!

I recommend Jim and his Total Life Counseling team for all your needs, from overcoming ADHD, social skill needs, anger management, autism, etc.

I pray for their continued success in helping those in need! Blessings to you all!

The class on anger management is quite good. Kendra is a competent and compassionate counselor. I would recommend her to anyone

Counseling is a life-long process at different stages and for many purposes. I appreciate the kindness, attentiveness, and solid advice and support provided by TLC and Pedro Valdez in particular. He has helped me tremendously while I've been navigating some rough waters; I highly recommend him.

Pedro was great and helped our family get to a better place of communication! Highly recommend.

I really enjoyed talking to Pedro at TLC! He is a very attentive listener and offered valuable insights regarding my situation.

Jim West has been great. We took our son to him for an evaluation, and he was able to get him interacting right away. Jim seems to have a gift for helping kids, and getting through to them. He also gave us, as parents different tools, and techniques to use when communicating with our son. It’s always better when the whole family works together, rather than just put all the responsibility on the child. We would recommend Jim West for any family therapy.

Pedro is great therapist. Im so grateful for the time he spent working with my son. My son has improved so much with him, and I finally feel relieved because of how much I have gone through with him. My son is smiling more and he is more relaxed and seems to have a better outlook on life now. If you need help please call him!

I saw Heidy Castaneda for 3 sessions. I praise her for her empathy, kindness, and non-judgmental approach to counseling. I felt at peace speaking with Heidy. I highly recommend her.

Jim is a great therapist. My two children were his patients while dealing with social anxiety and his techniques/approach helped them greatly in only a few sessions.
Definitely recommend him!

I've known Brandon for well over a year now. He's one of the best life counselors I've ever encountered. Highly recommended! Just chat with him and you'll immediately know you are in great hands.

I cannot recommend Total Life Counseling enough. They truly care and seek to help. They are truly the standard when looking for a counselor that listens, understands, and has the patience and experience to help you pointed in the right direction. I love the podcast as well!

As a business owner working through the stress and anxiety that life throw at you on a daily basis started to carry over into my home life. I reached out to Total Life to better learn how to manage and deal with it and was greeting with just the help i needed, they helped me better understand the root of it and ways to manage it with out going on medication like any Dr. would have. Super grateful for the impact Total life has had in my life.

Total Life Counseling was incredible to work with. Jim and Dana are truly amazing. They take the time to listen and cater each session to your specific needs. They are true miracle workers.

Total Life Counseling is an exceptional counseling practice that truly cares about your well-being. Their team extends the best blend of both compassion & expertise into your therapy. Highly recommend!

Total Life Counseling has been a blessing to me and myfamily, in just a few sessions. Video Game addiction is a thing and I had no clue of what was going on outside of my son just being a little out of his norm. Jim was able to help my son and I understand and set an attack plan, led to a detox and then getting my son back. Such a huge win, now we are aware and have continued our plan. My son is back to playing baseball again.

Total life counseling center’s treatment protocols are incredibly effective . As a parent of an ADHD student I am seeing the results in my son . It’s like day and night . I feel he is improving day by day without the use of medications only diet and nutrition
Keep up the great work !

Total Life Counseling is one of the best decisions I've made for myself and the staff here is very kind and welcoming. I've been seeing Kendra Collie for several months now and she has been a vital part in helping me with my depression and anxiety. Her knowledge and passion for what she does really makes a difference.

I’ve been on a healing journey and Anna has been an amazing resource for me. She does an amazing job of listening and providing guidance that has helped me thrive. Her caring nature makes you feel comfortable and her knowledgeable approach provides research based points that provide clarity. She’s been a great support and has helped me grow so much as a person.
