Dr. James M. Ottesen

   This website and all my work is dedicated to all adults and mature adolescents in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and other faith-based people who are looking for principles to guide them through psychological, emotional, and spiritual hurdles. As a dedicated member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and a clinical psychologist, I've created resources to support healing and growing individually and in relationships. This website will contain many of the principles I taught in my practice since 1997. Upon my retirement, I promised my clients and all those who referred to me that I would make these lessons available in case they "lost their notes". My hope is that these teachings offer clarity and comfort to all who seek support and guidance, whether you were a client or not.                    --James ​
