Here's What Dr. Jim Has to Say:
I believe that it's the role of the therapist to be actively involved in the therapy room. That is the best therapy. I listen and reflect, but I also contribute insightful feedback, informative handouts, homework, behavior techniques to try at home, and direct responses to any questions you have. We're in this together.

Dear Dr. Walton,
"I have found that all of the clients I have had listen to your CD have had a 50% - 70% immediate reduction in their anxiety symptoms. I have personally used your CD's for over 5 years and have found them so helpful I have bought more. Clearly, I believe in the power of this technique.
I have listened to several 'free' self-hypnosis CD's opnline and had the clietnts I work with try to find free ones they liked, but it always turns out the same, they don't like the voice or the images as much, or it just doesn't seem to work as well."

Together, you can:
• Relieve troubling symptoms & break old patterns
• Optimize/improve daily functioning
• Improve decision-making and life choices
• Improve relationships and communication
• Strengthen your self-image and self-esteem
• Increase your ability to set goals and achieve them
• Change behaviors that interfere with your life
• Solve problems so you can get what you want out of life
I practice from the belief that if you're given an understanding of your issues from a psychological perspective and then given the tools and strategies to change your behaviors, it has a synergistic effect that more effectively creates the desired growth in your life.
I treat you as a whole and capable person with individual needs. I place importance on people above theories. Having a strong, trusting and supportive relationship in the therapy room means that we're both real people working together to help find you the answers that you're seeking. Together, we'll explore the creative use of your drives, enhance intimacy, explore your dreams and remove the blocks to get what you want out of life."
