Hi there! My name is Wes Walton. I have a passion for therapy grounded in scripture and deeply value the power of relationships in our lives. I believe they greatly influence the way we see ourselves, others, and the world. In turn creating patterns of behavior and relationships we desire to change. I have experience working with various traumas, marital conflict, families, men's issues, father wounds, spiritual difficulties and challenges relating to God. While Christian/Biblically focused therapy is my passion, I welcome all no matter the difference in beliefs.

I have over ten years of experience working with teens and adults under 50. Most of my clients, both male and female, are in some form of transition in their lives. These transitions present themselves as maturation struggles, changing relationships, questioning perspectives, contemplating choices, and finding difficulty with what currently faces them in their lives. These are the times when a trusted assistant is helpful. My clients need to know that they have a safe place, without judgement, to work through their struggles. I provide trust, support, education, and new skills training with each client.

As a therapist, I believe everyone has inherent value, and I want to create a space where every person feels safe, confident and comfortable. As well as meeting people where they are and help them rediscover their intrinsic value, worth, and develop self-compassion and self-worth. There are challenges in life that are hard. I will work to empower you and to help you become the best and strongest version of yourself. My goal is to walk along side you through this process. We all face challenges in life but sometimes we need someone to support and cheer us on.

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY: Carl Rogers once said, “It is only when I accept myself exactly as I am that I begin to change.” For twelve years I've helped individuals work through anxiety, depression, relationship stress and the “normal” transitions of life. I help my clients stop fighting their emotions and accept the job they have to do. I help peel away beliefs like, “I’m not enough, I can’t do it.” I help rebuild strong internal foundations that tend to mental health, relationships and engagement with the world. With individuals, I specialize in treating workplace traumatic stress for healthcare providers.

When you can get to the root of the problem(s) and know better, you will feel better! I have a holistic approach to therapy, trained in working with people who have depression, anxiety and/or trauma - especially as it relates to issues from childhood. I am open to working with those 18+. I use the science of the brain, its impact on emotions and behavior, as well as cognitive behavioral and EMDR as primary modalities in my practice.

Please know that my caseload and waitlist is currently full and unfortunately I am not accepting new clients right now. I operate my own private practice and specialize in working with teens, adults, and families by helping parents with their children, and helping adults work through their trauma. Through the use of attachment based, trauma-informed therapy, we will work hard together to address the issues and difficulties that you or your child might be experiencing.
