James Cardinal

Are anxiety, depression or ADHD challenges making daily life harder? I'm James Cardinal, a Licensed Professional Counselor at NuMedical & Psychiatry Clinic in Colorado Springs. With over 20 years in the mental health field, I offer compassionate, collaborative counseling to help you understand what you are experiencing and develop practical strategies for change.

I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress and relationship or family conflict. I also support clients experiencing ADHD-related difficulties with organization, time management, task initiation and follow-through. My goal is to help you feel heard, identify what matters to you and take manageable steps toward your goals.

My approach is collaborative and tailored to your needs. We will explore how your thoughts, emotions, experiences and daily routines affect your well-being. Together, we can identify unhelpful patterns, strengthen coping skills and develop practical strategies you can use between sessions.

For clients experiencing ADHD-related challenges, our work may include building routines, breaking tasks into manageable steps and improving planning and follow-through. We will review what is working and adjust our approach as your needs evolve.

Our first session is an opportunity to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to counseling. I will listen to your concerns, ask about relevant experiences and explore how these challenges affect your daily life.

We will discuss your goals, what you hope to gain from therapy and possible next steps. You are welcome to ask questions about my approach. We will work together to identify a starting point that feels manageable and meaningful to you.
