James P Bateman

About Us

I have expertise working with children, adolescents, couples and families. This includes work with high risk youth, work with children who have been abused or neglected, and work with families in crisis. I have extensive Court experience, and have been appointed as a expert in the areas of counseling and clinical psychology. I have been appointed as a Parenting Expert in clinical interventions and custody evaluations. I have supported couples in developing skills to strengthen their relationships. I have experience assisting children, adolescents, and adults in dealing with anxiety, depression, Post traumatic stress disorder, Bipolar disorder, and other psychiatric diagnoses. , My specialty is establishing genuine therapeutic relationships with children and adolescents. I enjoy meeting children and teens who are difficult to connect with, and appreciate their position. It is honoring when a child, teen or adult is trusting enough to establish an honest, therapeutic relationship with me. , I am a divorced parent of three children, and despite the professional knowledge that I posses, I believe that having been through a separation and divorce gives me a more personal understanding of the issues, difficulties, and potential fall out that can occur during the process of divorce.
