James Wogan’s private practice is on College Ave., near Zach’s Pizza in the Rockridge neighborhood of Oakland, CA. James has been a therapist in San Francisco, CA, Tokyo, Japan with Child and Adolescent Guidance Services, and in Alameda, CA at Xanthos Inc. and Alameda Family Services Agency.

James was the family therapist addictions counselor on staff at Ross Hospital, a dual-diagnosis chemical dependency 28-Day rehabilitation hospital in Marin, California.

James typically sees teenagers, college students, or families for eight (8) weeks at a time, using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, harm reduction, and mindfulness as the foundations to bring positive change into the lives of children, youth, couples, and families.

After 8 weeks, we reflect and evaluate progress together, then decide if another 6-8 weeks in therapy is needed.

Appointments are currently available on Saturdays.
