Below: The Capstone for Master of Science Degree in Clinical Psychology is putting into words the student's personal theory of psychotherapy. 

A Holistic-Integrative Approach was written by James Lenfesty, MS, January 2010 during the first two semesters of clinical work and before the final internship (providing psychotherapy to students) in the last two semesters (Fall 2010 and Spring 2011). 

The third document below is the Capstone for the Master of Divinity degree and was completed December 15, 2025. It represents a topic that is an amalgamation of what I have learned thus far and the general direction that I feel led to go in the ministerial direction that seems to be ever evolving. 

The Catholic's Search and Questions of Humanity: Answered through Evangelizing Catechesis by James Douglas Lenfesty, MS, MDiv, was written with care to leave open the door to questions and evolving thought.  

I appreciate you visiting this page as it represents a body of work that I have accomplished and certainly is not necessarily representative of a static life journey. I have both grown through these works but also separately through personal and professional experiences. 

I am truly grateful to God for blessing me so greatly. I have learned from personal relationships as well as from and through the patients I see professionally. That combined with a small amount of education have truly changed me in so many ways. For that, I am so very grateful.
