I am a License Clinical Social Worker. I reviewed my bachelor and masters degrees from the University of Kentucky in clinical social work. I have worked with a variety of populations to include children to adults later in life. I have experience working with families, individuals, and couples.
In 1986, my journey in the field of human services began, fueled by a lifelong passion for helping others. Majoring in the Human Services concentration at high school laid the groundwork for my unwavering commitment to this mission.
Upon earning a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's in Science with a counseling specialty, my formal training commenced in 2002. Over the years, I've gained extensive experience and expertise, working in diverse settings. Anxiety, stress, worry, uncertainty, addictions and fear don't have to define your life. With over 16 years of clinical experience, I help individuals, couples, and families identify the beliefs, thought patterns, and automatic behaviors that keep them feeling stuck.
My name is William L. Mynk and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over 15 years of counseling experience. My approach is open, friendly, non-judgemental, and solution oriented. I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, trauma (including religious trauma), and substance abuse. I have presented on the topics of trauma, religious trauma, and substance abuse/addiction at a number of state, regional, and national conferences. I look forward to helping you on your road to personal growth and healing,
I became a therapist because I believe our struggles deserve to be understood, not just fixed. Too often, people come to therapy feeling like a problem to be solved or a checklist to work through, and that's exactly what I want to push back against. My goal is to help you feel more human, not more clinical.
I earned my Master's in Social Work from Northern Kentucky University in 2014 and hold a certificate in ADHD treatment. I work with adults navigating ADHD, depression, anxiety, and substance use disorder, and I bring both professional training and personal familiarity to these areas. I know this stuff isn't abstract. It shows up in real life, in real ways, every day.
I am a retired Air Force Master Sgt. and an LCSW who specializes in addiction and mental health. I understand these issues because I have lived through both of them. I have two masters degrees, one in military social work, and one in addiction social work. I graduated from the University of Louisville, and am excited to get to meet new people and help them get their lives back.

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Louisville
Finding addiction therapists in Louisville starts with looking for care that matches your specific needs. Addiction counseling can support people with concerns related to alcohol use, substance use, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and changes in sobriety. Some therapists use approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or relapse prevention planning. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, depending on their goals and clinical needs.
Louisville has a range of therapists across local neighborhoods, nearby suburbs, and virtual care options, so it helps to narrow your search with both clinical and practical factors in mind. Recovery can involve changes over time, so look for a therapist who describes a non-judgmental approach and experience with addiction recovery, alcohol counseling, or substance use counseling. You may also want to compare appointment availability, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they talk about care, what approaches they use, and whether their style fits what you want from therapy.
Therapy in Louisville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find addiction therapists who are accepting new patients and offer in-person or virtual appointments. You can enter your insurance details to check coverage and estimated costs for your specific plan. You can review therapist profiles, check estimated costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
