 My name is Dr. George James, Chief Innovation Officer at Council for Relationships, as well as licensed marriage and family therapist. All throughout my life I thought I was going to be a medical doctor, that's what I said to many folks, but in undergrad I realized that wasn't the fit for me and I switched to psychology and then still trying to figure out what that next path was. I found a master's program that focused in marriage and family therapy, but I knew I wanted more because I loved helping people as a therapist, but I thought there was more that I could do that would expand with a doctorate degree. I still had to navigate work, family, marriage, schedules, and Immaculata allowed me to do that. The time was flexible, the professors were there and accessible, and so like all these things just really work together. When I think about the professors at Immaculata and their expertise, they are phenomenal. They are board certified, they are leaders, they are known and well loved, and it was just great being able to be in their presence. I think about how I had to overcome obstacles and my belief in myself in my career, and Immaculata was a part of that phase, that investment, so I fully know that where I am today is because I bet on myself and I bet on Immaculata.
