More about James:

James Marland helps therapists transform their expertise into scalable digital solutions, providing them with more freedom, flexibility, and the opportunity to make a greater impact. He created the Scaling Therapist Empowerment Program to guide therapists through this process. His passion for this mission comes from personal experience—when his family struggled for years to find the right therapist for his sister, they faced numerous setbacks and ineffective care. This inspired James to ensure that people in need can access quality, faith-based therapists. With over 16 years of experience in social services and mental health, he is dedicated to supporting therapists in growing their businesses and expanding their reach. In his free time, James enjoys camping, board games, and producing podcasts like The Scaling Therapy Practice.
