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.
