James Van Ness, PA-C
Physician Assistant

With over 10 years of experience in psychiatry, James brings a uniquely powerful and comprehensive approach to mental health care. Before treating patients in a clinical setting, James spent years working in academic research, biotechnology, and the pharmaceutical industry.

James also knows that true healing requires a well-rounded approach. That’s why his treatment plans frequently incorporate non-pharmacologic strategies. Whether it’s integrating behavioral changes, mindfulness practices, nutritional adjustments, or lifestyle modifications,  James   partners with his patients to explore every avenue of wellness. He is dedicated to finding the perfect balance between cutting-edge science and holistic care to help you thrive.
