About me
Hi
My name is Jim Maguire. I am a Board- Certified Mental Health Therapist and have a New Jersey issued license as a Professional Counselor. (LPC). I have over 20 years of Counseling experience -working with children, adults and families. In addition to working as a School Counselor and School Psychologist, I also worked as an Alcohol and Drug therapist at a leading Mental Health Hospital in New Jersey.
At this point in time, I am providing services via Telehealth. I understand that it is not easy to recognize the need and to take the step of asking for help. My personal and family experience is such that I fully understand the obstacles faced in seeking help from a professional. Seeking help, I have come to believe, is a sign of strength not weakness.
I do not strictly adhere to any one Therapeutic model. I do like Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Positive Psychology, Solution Focused Therapy, as well as several other models of therapy. There is not a “one size fits all,” therapy, therefore, I am comfortable in integrating appropriate aspects of many therapeutic models.
Regardless of the model, I am a strong believer that the most important thing in helping others is an empathetic therapeutic alliance. To paraphrase a quote from education: “People don’t care what you know, until they know that you care.”
I look forward to working with you.
Jim Maguire

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for James Maguire. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
James is an exceptional therapist. He made us feel very comfortable and helped us worked through our communication struggles. He listens, and find creative solutions to issues. He is able to see what we don't see as a couple and help translate exactly what we mean. I will definitely recommend him to anyone looking for support and some guidance :)
James is very involved with us. He gives us his insight on what my wife and I could be doing better and sends us worksheets and exercises to complete and stays in touch when we need him..
