Chessing James, PHD

I worked with Dr. Chessing for several years in my twenties. He was always compassionate, empathic, genuine and professional. My insurance covered most of the cost for my therapy sessions.
His office space is small, yet comfortable. There are one or two windows facing the street. This creates a little bit of noise interruption, but it wasn’t too big of a deal for me.
The building is an old house, turned into an office space, which is what I really liked about it. The location was close enough to my place of residence. I never really looked forward to driving into the one way driveway, but most of the time it was ok. I was never able to find parking on the street, I usually always found it in the back just fine, but there are only several parking spaces, so sometimes you have to sit and wait.
One thing, I think people should be aware of, is that Dr. Chessing’s approach is more psychoanalytic. For me this meant a higher level of transference, which in the end, didn’t work out for me.
He can be and was very helpful, but he was unable to terminate therapy with me «appropriately». It’s taken me a long time to move on, but I have, thank goodness.
In the end, for a lot of people, I am sure he is and will continue to be very helpful to them.
