James Owens, a licensed professional counselor, answered God’s call to the vocation of counseling over 30 years ago. With a career spanning crisis centers, substance abuse agencies, drug courts, schools, churches, community non-profits, and higher education, James has dedicated his life to bringing healing and hope to those in need.

Specializing in "healing the healers," James provides compassionate counseling to pastors, religious, principals, teachers, and ministers serving in churches and schools, offering them a safe space for renewal and growth.

As an experienced professor and speaker, James inspires parishes, staff, faculty, and students with his powerful message of hope, renewal, and the profound connection between mental health and faith. His work reflects a deep commitment to integrating the insights of psychology with the wisdom of theology, empowering individuals to flourish in mind, body, and spirit.

His work has been published through Lighthouse Catholic Media, and featured in the Augustine Institute's 7-part series The Search, hosted by Chris Stefanick.
