James McEntee, MFT

Jamie is a thoughtful and powerful facilitator of personal change and transformation. Having experienced his work in a psychotherapy mens group, I can attest to his great ability to navigate complex inter-​personal dynamics with great acumen and insight, as well as calling forth authentic expressions of emotions and feelings. I really value his ability to hold space and allow others to explore and understand deep aspects of themselves, as well as his prodding of group members to not sit by passively and comfortably, but rather get involved with their whole selves. And I’ve seen tremendous results from this. He makes the space safe, by holding clear and important boundaries, but he also utilizes the space to facilitate powerful group as well as personal transformation by diving deep into the inner realms of the psyche. As a leader of mens work, but also as a therapist in general, I highly recommend Jamie — for men of this caliber and quality doing this work are not so common.

I highly recommend him to all age groups. He also works with a highly diverse range of cultures as well. His life experience adds tremendously to the impact he has on his clients. Jamie has a wonderful presence about him that is calming, peaceful, accepting, and shows genuine care. He used to be in Santa Cruz, but is now building a practice in the San Francisco area.
