Hi there, my name is Robert (Bob)Willis. I am a licensed LPC. My approach to therapy is client centered with an emphasis on Biblical teaching. It is my belief that everything a therapist needs to counsel as well as the needs of the client is found in Scripture both Old and New Testaments. After 40+ years in Pastoral Ministry I am convinced the Bible has the answers to all of man's delimas.

You've been having a hard time with the one (or several) of the following things: connecting with your emotions, figuring out your life, finding a healthy work/life balance, or coping with anxiety, stress, anger, or grief. Everyone says things will get better but you're still waiting for "better". What's worse, you don't feel comfortable talking about your issues in detail with your friends and family. You know they mean well, but they don't seem to get it and you wish you could talk to someone about your concerns without being judged or being looked at as a "crazy person." You just want to feel better.

Many events in life that bring us joy also come with stress, uncertainty & loss. While struggles experienced from major life transitions can be painful, they provide us with opportunities for growth. Working with clients who are adjusting to a major life change is something I am passionate about as a therapist. Getting married, starting a family, struggling in a relationship, contemplating or going through divorce, changing or leaving a career, becoming empty nesters, these are common transitions that can be hard to deal with and make us question our identity. If you need support dealing with a major life change I'm here to help.

My ideal client is open to the process of therapy and allows our work together to be collaborative. I have experience helping clients work through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, anger/frustrations, grief/ loss, and much more. As someone who has sat in both chairs (the therapist's and the client's), I know how nerve-wracking therapy can feel when you first get started. If you are willing to push through some of those initial discomforts and engage in the process, I have no doubts that you will gain valuable insight and experience personal growth.

Life often seems to move so quickly, barely allowing a chance to take in all that we have experienced. Especially in times of change or intense grief, you may want a space to process your experiences-both the mundane moments and major life-changing events-in order to understand what is going on inside. Therapy can be the perfect space to sort through your experiences, search for meaning and understanding, and discern the path forward that is right for you.

Grief Therapists
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
