Feeling overwhelmed? Anxious? Depressed? .... I can help. My name is Wayne Bills, a licensed therapist (LMFT) based in North Carolina. If you are looking for someone who can guide you through a change process, and you are ready to do what it takes, let's talk about your needs, challenges and goals. I have helped clients with a variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems and career challenges. I have also helped people who deal with the pain of physical trauma, emotional abuse, personal grief and low self-worth. It’s not easy to share the most personal thoughts, challenges and emotions in your life. I can make that easier. My clients appreciate the calm, respectful approach I use in our sessions. Listening is my most important therapeutic skill. You need someone who, first and foremost, takes the time to understand. My approach to therapy is holistic; each dimension of your life is important. I use a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and problem solving to help guide you through a process of change. Affixing a label or passing judgment is not the goal. Instead, helping you find answers and overcoming the issues that have brought you to this point? That's the goal. Congratulations on having the courage to be here. I look forward to working with you. Wayne

I am a retired psychologist licensed in the state of North Carolina. Over the past 35 years, I have worked in a variety of mental health and educational settings. These have included a state vocational rehabilitation center, public schools, private practice, mental health center, and teaching in a small university. My goal in my professional career has been to experience as much as I could in different settings. In doing so I felt my varied experiences could help me provide the best services to my clients. Along with the professional experiences, I also enjoy traveling and learning about other cultures. I attended schools in Wyoming, Idaho, Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia. In each university, I learned a variety of techniques to put in my psychology toolbox. I prefer a combination of solution based and cognitive based techniques as I feel that everyone has goals but are just not sure how to obtain them. I believe my role is to assist clients to find the best path to reach them. I encourage and assist my clients to come up with their own way of getting to their goal and not rely on my way for them. I feel a sense of humor and enjoyment of music can often help in many if not all situations. My hope for you is that together we will find the path to reaching your goal(s). I will walk the path with you and support you in your journey. Last, I ask that you commit to at least three sessions so that I can get to know you better and you can decide if I am the right person to assist you on your way. Thank you for considering me.
