James Broadnax, M.Ed, LCPC
If you’re looking for a therapist in Homewood IL, you may be
carrying a lot internally while still managing to function on the outside. You
might be dealing with stress, anxiety, past trauma, or the pressure to “keep it
together” without fully processing what you’ve been through. I specialize in helping
adults—particularly men—navigate trauma, emotional stress, life transitions,
and identity so they can gain clarity, control, and a stronger sense of self.
Who I Help
I work with adults (20+) who may be:
- Struggling
with anxiety, stress, or emotional overwhelm
- Carrying
unresolved trauma or past experiences
- Navigating
identity, pressure, or major life transitions
- Dealing
with anger, frustration, or difficulty expressing emotions
- Adjusting
after incarceration or major life changes
Many of my clients are high functioning but feel stuck
internally and ready for deeper change.
My Specialties
As a trauma therapist in Homewood, IL, I specialize in:
- Trauma
and PTSD
- Anxiety
and depression
- Men’s
mental health
- Life
transitions and identity
- Anger
management and emotional regulation
- Support
for formerly incarcerated individuals
My work focuses on helping clients understand how past
experiences and systems impact present-day thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
My Approach
My approach is trauma-informed, culturally grounded, and
insight-driven. I integrate evidence-based practices with a deeper exploration
of how your life experiences, environment, and identity shape your current
patterns.
In our work together, we will:
- Explore
patterns that keep you feeling stuck
- Process
past experiences at a pace that feels safe
- Build
emotional awareness and regulation
- Develop
practical tools for real-life situations
Therapy with me is thoughtful, direct, and focused on
meaningful, lasting change.
What to Expect in Therapy
Starting therapy can feel unfamiliar, especially if you’re
used to handling things on your own.
In sessions, you can expect:
- A
supportive, non-judgmental space
- Honest
and reflective conversations
- A
balance of deep exploration and practical strategies
- A
focus on long-term growth—not just short-term relief
My goal is to help you move from survival mode to a more
intentional, balanced way of living.
