Licensed Professional Counselor Associate & National Certified Counselor
MEET WILLIAM (he/him/his)
Following a multidimensional approach to counseling and therapy, I focus not only on diagnosis and treatment but on the overall mental health and wellness of the clients I serve. I regard the therapeutic relationship shared with clients as the most important element of therapy and the highest predictor of positive and successful outcomes. The services I provide are tailored to the individual needs, preferences, and personality of each client. I strive to provide unique and authentic therapeutic rapport that works best for my individual clients. Today I serve clients of all ages and backgrounds in person and online from Lexington, KY, as well as online (only) for Florida clients.
I am a Lexington native who began my career working six years in local promotional advertising. Following a personal calling and mission to serve others, I transitioned my career to healthcare, first working for UK's Markey Caner Center and Albert B. Chandler Hospital for a combined five years. Since then I focused my service to mental healthcare as a student, intern, and clinical therapist with non-profit National Youth Advocate Program (NYAP). Today I continue to serve clients of all ages and backgrounds, including adults, adolescents, families, and couples, addressing a wide and diverse spectrum of life's challenges.
