Great to meet you!

William brings one of the more distinctive backgrounds on the Headway platform: a former Army Chaplain with over 15 years active military experience, personal experience with therapy, and a rich modality set spanning EMDR, EFT for couples, Solution Focused Therapy, Family Systems, and Narrative Art Therapy. Married with adult children, he is ready to walk alongside his clients to help them through and out of their situation and onto reaching goals of their own. With over 30 years of counseling in a wide variety of settings and groups, let William see if he can help you today. Schedule a session now. Now accepting clients. Share with your friends!

My approach to therapy

William listens carefully to first hear the client's story and see where they are on their journey. Once needs are determined and reasons for therapy, William reaches for the best therapeutic tools in his kit to use with the client to help the client set and reach goals for therapy. William has a deep respect for the unique cultures and diverse backgrounds of his clients, and is careful to show that respect as it applies to therapy. Sessions are confidential and professional and client focused. There is a check on progress each session. Between sessions, William may email extra resources or optional worksheets to help the client.

What you can expect from me

William gets to know the client in the first session, after client safety and confidentiality are confirmed. William shares his approach and matches the pacing of the client. The first session and subsequent sessions last around 50 minutes, and each session builds on previous sessions. A strong, trusting therapeutic relationship is the goal during the first and following sessions. The client is the subject matter expert in their own journey, and William brings the professional therapeutic tools to assist them towards wholeness. William is attentive to emails and messages between sessions. If requested by the client, William - an ordained minister, will offer a prayer for the client.
