Substance Use Therapists in Spartanburg, SC

Are you exhausted at the end of your work day, burned out, or physically sick more often than in the past? As a caregiver, compassion and empathy drive your work, requiring an emotional investment in other people that leaves you drained. It can be difficult to set aside time for your own emotional needs. After all, we have been trained to fully focus on the mental health and well-being of other people. You want to provide the best client care, focusing fully on their mental health, and still have energy left for yourself at the end of the day.

In the counseling process, I use relationship building to develop the foundation from which to address needs. Drawing from personal experience and education, I work hard to support people as they move from where they are to where they want to be. Motivated by my deep faith, I feel that all people matter and that change is always possible.

Do you want to discover not only how to help yourself for the here and now but build a foundation that can sustain you for a future? The goal is to help you learn how to help yourself by providing you tools and coping skills while processing the impact that life and others may have had on you. Do you struggle with feeling empty, unfulfilled, and lost? Maybe you are using substances to mask or cope with the emotional pain. Maybe shame, guilt, or grief is holding you back from feeling like yourself. Maybe life just feels too difficult or not worth it?

Your desire for change, healing, and to find yourself again has led you here. You are ready to set down the mask of everything being fine and allow for the deeper healing of the parts of you that have been longing for care, compassion, love and acceptance. Desiring authenticity and connection that comes from inner healing. I work with clients who experience trauma, depression, anxiety, self-harm / suicidal ideation, substance use disorders and more. I will walk with you as you work to connect with your true self. Empowering you to address the issues that brought you into therapy.

“All those who wander are not lost” - J.R. Tolkien. Helping people find their way has always been something Bill has been called to do. Whether it was ministering to young people as a student pastor, connecting the unemployed to new careers at SC Works Upstate, or assisting those trying to find freedom from substance abuse at The Forrester Center for Behavioral Health, the platform may have varied, but the mission stayed the same. Meet people where they are, build relationships, and partner with them as they strive to make their lives better.

It is very easy to believe that change can't happen or that it's too late to make adjustments. The duration of a problem has nothing to do with your ability to make changes. You can start at any time to make changes that will make a difference in you life. Let me help you explore the steps you need to make improvements in your life.

I have found it an honor to play a role in the lives of those who have entrusted me with the truth of their internal world and the unique experiences that shape and enrich their lives. I always am amazed as I hear stories of pain and obstacles and strengths from clients. While it is intense work at times, it is very rewarding for clients to encounter the experiences of the past and present with support in the "here and now". Helping those with a history of trauma, losses/grief and the after-effects like depression, anxiety, dissociation and addiction, and relationship issues is very meaningful to me. Healing is possible!
