Our Story
Founded in 2018, Lancaster Consulting is a unique practice that blends mental health support with financial guidance. Recognizing the deep and often overlooked connection between mental wellness and financial stability, we created this consulting service to address the dual challenges so many individuals and families face. Our goal has always been clear: to provide compassionate, comprehensive support that empowers people to thrive—both emotionally and financially.
Lancaster Consulting is led by the dynamic team of James and Tashena, whose combined expertise forms the heart of our holistic approach. James, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a background in forensic mental health, clinical behavioral oversight, and public safety, offers tailored psychoeducation and therapeutic support. His understanding of how emotional experiences impact financial decision-making brings a depth of care and insight to each session.
Tashena, who holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, complements this work with her financial expertise—offering tax preparation, financial planning, and personalized coaching to help clients navigate their finances with clarity and confidence. Together, they’ve supported over 2,000 clients in building stronger, more stable lives.
Whether we’re supporting a person through a life transition or guiding a workplace toward wellness, Lancaster Consulting remains rooted in one core value: healing happens when we honor the full picture of a person’s life. Mental health. Financial health. Together.
"We believe true well-being comes from understanding both the mind and the money. When people feel emotionally safe and financially informed, they can truly thrive."
— James & Tashena, Founders of Lancaster Consulting
