"It is truly possible to live a happy, balanced and serene life, and to be your authentic self in the process. Addictions, anxiety and depression don't have to be your norm nor the secrets you keep. You don't have to fake it to make it in LA, nor do you have to suffer isolated and alone in the midst of 13 million people. I help individuals, couples and families sort things out and get on with living. Call today and let's talk about the changes you are seeking and how I can help."

"Have you "always been a worrier?" Are your thoughts racing, spiraling you into despair? Do people keep telling you to stop worrying but you can't? Are you thinking the worst case scenario right now?" You may be having difficulty sleeping, be short on patience, or snapping at people you love. If you are nervous right now because too many things on this list remind you, you may be struggling with anxiety. If your worrying is causing you to enjoy life less or is keeping you from getting things done, I would love to help."

"A golfer never wants to quit on a bad shot, so he makes sure he keeps going until he has a good shot. The same goes for our lives, right? I help high achievers, those of us who are driven and ambitious, have the same kind of success in their personal life as they do their professional life. If someone doesn't have this completeness, the gains are lost and their stresses -- like sex/love addiction, anxious/avoidant attachment issues, codependency, male & female sex issues incl PIED, - start to undermine their success. My clients want outstanding results. So do I."

"As Dr. of Clinical Psychology 'in the making' (2017) and a Master of Spiritual Psychology seeling clients over ten years now, I am combining a larger spiritual perspective with life skill oriented pragmatism. I facilitate transition into your greater potential by calling forth your inherent resources. We first make healing possible so coaching the mind can become maximally efficient. As we undo 'unseen' mechanics' - unresolved pain, limiting beliefs etc. we set your dormant energy and creativity free so you can experience greater ease in every day living and more harmonious relationships."

"Our work together will be a journey of exploring the source of your distress and how to alleviate it. I like to use a combination of cognitive-behavioral techniques for faster results--and a more in-depth process (if needed, and if so desired) to explore lifelong issues to identify triggers and obstacles throughout lifespan development. Working together, we can find ways to unlock whatever it is that creates negative experiences and feelings in your life. The goal? Free yourself to live the life you want. I work with most PPO insurance, am in network with Cigna and Beacon, and work with Preferred One."

"Whether you have concerns within your relationships, or you are dealing with grief or loss, unresolved issues from childhood, fears, self-esteem, questioning your direction in life, experiencing anxiety or depression - uncovering the stuck places and shining light on them with a trained and trusted ear, can assist in claiming what it is genuine and true for you. Finding the right fit with a therapist that allows you to feel safe and open is critical. Therapy can be stressful to begin and it takes courage, so good for you for starting."

""Love has to be with elevated conditions", Martin Luther King. I pride my office on a few values: 1) unconditional love and 2)No baloney counseling . I love you, but we need to get to the point! :)"

"Check out my website at: DrWillisOnline.com I recently relocated my life and practice to the beautiful state of Georgia from Southern California.

"Psychotherapy is a journey of discovery. It is a walk toward the self. The purpose of psychotherapy is to assist the patient with knowing the Self: their intrinsic goodness, wisdom and strength found within. For women and couples, this requires a setting aside of assumptions about the self and others in order for curiosity to emerge. In psychotherapy, we explore what brings meaning to life and what creates value. We ask, “Do my actions bring me closer to the person I want to be?” As I assist the patient with shoring up coping skills we also explore the wondrous road back to the Self. "

"I know the joy, frustration, elation, boredom, rage, fear and courage of being a parent, step parent, and partner. I know how it changes a person and how hard that change can be-- stretching and growing is painful at times, and well worth it. Working through past pain, that we continue to hold onto, is instrumental in freeing ourselves from it. Breathwork is awesome for this! I support clients making art in session and out, in order to explore unconscious feelings, memories and intentions. I love working with teenagers and others going through big life changes who want the support."

"Feeling sad? Anxious? Stuck? Lost? Struggling with a short term crisis -- a lost job, or difficult relationship? Or interested in exploring yourself, looking for answers to long-asked questions? No matter what you challenge you're facing, you don't have to suffer alone. I welcome all who are looking for help, but I have particular interest in: Men and women in mid-life; young adults, particularly those pursuing creative careers who are just starting out on your life journey; couples, working to save, or just to improve, their relationship."

"Is your relationship caught in painful repetitive interactions? Does each attempt to talk it over escalate into an argument that rarely resolves? Constructive communication is more likely to occur in a calm, respectful atmosphere. I can help improve communication, reduce conflict, and facilitate deeper empathy, love, and understanding of one another. Are you having difficulty resolving a current loss or feeling unsatisfied with your life? Old patterns may be limiting your success or interfering with your ability to move past losses and create more fulfilling relationships. Change can be difficult but the rewards are vast!"

"Insight paired with action drives lasting change. Change starts with the first step. However taking the step to foster change in one's emotional life can be frightening and overwhelming. My goal is to create a safe, caring environment, where together we travel a path of emotional discovery that will lead you to a better life. Based in West Hollywood, my practice is designed to understand you at a fundamental level, to craft a healing approach that meets your specific needs, builds trust in your therapeutic journey, and produces an atmosphere that supports desire for emotional growth and lasting change."
