We’ve worked with this mentoring company for several years, and they’ve been a steady, positive support. They meet them where they are and helped us with emotional support, academics, and practical life skills—especially when we needed it most. I’m truly grateful and would absolutely recommend them.
My parents and I are deeply grateful for the profound impact James has had on my brother’s life. My brother lives with schizophrenia and substance use disorder, and has needed more support than our family could provide alone. As many know, this population can be difficult to reach and support effectively. James stepped into that space with compassion and consistency. He communicated thoughtfully with our family, offering steady guidance during crises and reassurance in moments of uncertainty.
James built a genuine relationship with my brother. He knew when to guide, when to challenge, and when to simply be present. In every interaction, James met my brother where he was. With time he became a trusted companion to my brother and at times like family to us. Despite the many hardships and barriers mental illness can bring, through James’s dedication, my brother has made real invaluable progress.
With complete confidence, I recommend James to anyone seeking a skilled mentor for a loved one navigating mental illness. Through his leadership I have no doubt that he will also be exceptional at training other mentors who hope to make a difference the way he has.
We can’t thank him enough as a family.
James and his team provided connective and nurturing mentorship at a critical juncture for a family member. We will be forever grateful for their support!
I have been working with James for over a year now. It started out as mentorship to guide me in better parenting my son. It quickly became more than that and he became my main support while going through the toughest period of my life. He is so kind and warm and was able to hold space for me through all of the difficulties I was facing. He has a way of making you feel safe and heard even over zoom. I truly felt he was in the room with me when we met. His insight, encouragement and guidance has given me a new way to move through and look at the world. I will be forever grateful for the work I have done and continue to do with him
If everyone had a James in their life, we would all be healthy, emotionally intelligent, resilient people who could handle any life stressor with grace. His ability to understand the breadth and depth of a family system is unparalleled. James has a gift for meeting each person exactly where they are, without judgment, and holding space with such clarity and intention that even the most difficult situations begin to feel manageable. He becomes the rudder in your life, helping you focus less on the turbulence of daily emotions and more on finding balance and direction through it all. I am profoundly grateful to James for the way he has supported our entire family showing each of us how to become our own source of resilience and grounding. Working with him is not just about getting through a hard time, it’s about learning how to thrive long after. I’m thrilled to hear about his mentoring program and the ripple effect it will have, helping other mentors transform countless lives.

I've known James for over a decade and have seen his work with others up close and personally. His ability to engage with others, connect on an incredibly deep level, and help them find their own answers and make positive changes is incredible. He has the patience of a saint and the curiosity of a child! I've known few men who can embody the gentle warrior spirit such as James. It's been a gift in my life to know him professionally and personally and cannot recommend Noble Mentors enough.
I am so thankful for the relationship that I have developed with James Farmer these last few years. James is extremely gifted as a mentor, and his work at Noble Mentors is a display of his leadership and competence at developing others to be a strong steady presence for those who depend on them. James' ability to drive a conversation towards the deeper truths in life is set apart from other mentors, counselors, life coaches, etc. I have engaged with in the past. James has a tremendous willingness to spend quality time with our deepest wounds, and seek healing through inviting trusted individuals into the painful places of life. James' level of compassion is rare and his emotional intelligence is off the charts. I believe that James is utilizing his greatest strengths to build a Mentorship Program that will serve countless individuals in extremely healing and helpful ways.
James has been an excellent mentor to my son for several years. He is my son’s anchor and safe place. My son has expressed to me many times how much he thinks James has helped him. James sees the potential and strengths my son has, and encourages him. My son then feels hope, which turns into momentum and follow through. My son knows James cares, he is reliable, honest and my son trusts and confides in him. My son feels safe enough to express anger and sorrow with James. James holds my son accountable. They do much more that talk, there is an action plan. During meetings, there is a structured plan my son commits to do by the next meeting. James has also supported me over the years. He identified things I was doing that were not helpful to me or my son. With his support, I now do things different. James takes the time, and puts forth the effort to really help us. He is amazing!!

James is a one of a kind helper. My son has been working him for almost 7 years.
His clarity of thought , wisdom, empathy and individualized approach has mentored my son through some very rough times and his relationship with me as a parent has been invaluable. I feel like James is my ears and eyes on the ground- always communicating but somehow maintaining my son’s privacy is a talent and an art.
I am in the field of mental health and addiction and my colleagues have said repeatedly, this role of therapeutic/ practical mentor should be a model to meet the moment of the youth/young adult crisis. We are so lucky that James has been on our journey.

A few years ago our son returned to CU Boulder after spending the summer in wilderness therapy. We were understandably concerned about how he would transition back to a stressful college situation, so we hired James Farmer to be his mentor. James and our son met a couple of times a week at first and then tapered off naturally over the next two years.
James helped our son with daily life skills such as budgeting, buying a car, grocery shopping, and even learning rock climbing. Just as importantly, our son learned how to set boundaries with us and others, prioritize tasks, believe in himself, and value his life. James also helped us as parents to better understand our son, and he was a trusted person we could call if something especially worrisome came up.
Noble Mentors is truly about building growth, resilience, and independence — and we saw that happen firsthand. I will always be very grateful that our paths crossed.
Our family experience with James and Noble Mentors could not have been more positive. We received meaningful and positive support during a very challenging time in our family. We have utilized James as a therapeutic mentor for both of our young-adult sons and witnessed firsthand the incredible benefits that came from the deep relationships they developed. James brings a sense of calm to even the most reactive situations, creating space for active listening and insightful questions. I would highly recommend James Farmer and Noble Mentors.
