Grow into who
you’re becoming
with BrianJames McMahon, LCMFT
No matter how disoriented, lost or pained one might be, at the center is life and beauty waiting to be rediscovered and reclaimed.
Hi, I’m BrianJames.
Trust and safety lay at the base of empowerment and agency in our lives. If we can engage with bravery, and cultivate relationships with others who will be brave with us, we will lay a strong foundation from which we can grow into flourishing.
We must be brave. And no one should have to be brave alone.
Over the years this work has taken me in many directions and has taken on on many different forms. After time spent living in New York, China, Seattle, and Los Angeles, I am happy to call Kansas City home for myself and my family. Through the years I have pastored, church planted, became a licensed marriage and family therapist, started a counseling center to launch other therapists into private practice, and provided care in a variety of capacities to individuals, families, and organizations.
In each context of my life I bore witness to the frequency with which suffering led to isolation. Not because of preference, but because of the absence of relationships that were able to truly companion the suffering.
Companioning the suffering sits central to the work that I do. Not observing from the outside. Not trying to fix. But drawing near, entering into the story and the experience. From there, through the experience of seeing & being seen and making meaning - in the context of an intentional relationship, healing and maturation are cultivated.

What I Do
I am the founder of BrianJames Therapy and a licensed marriage and family therapist.The focus of my work is with pastors, therapists, and organizational leaders to find healing from pain, overcome barriers to connection, unlock potential, and grow into who they are becoming.
The word that has come to be the most significant to me is one that you will hear frequently in my work and in the work of my team: brave. There are many things that are outside of our control. But not the choice to be brave. It isn’t always easy. Or preferred. Or fair. But it is always a choice that is available.
When my bravery is met by your bravery, and our bravery is recognized and acknowledged, trust grows and we become safer together.
