Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Asheville, NC

As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist Associate (LCAS), I love helping adults struggling with addiction or navigating the challenges of early recovery, as well as other mental health concerns like anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma and more. My goal is to provide a supportive space where you can feel understood, build on your strengths, and move toward meaningful and lasting change.

Hello,

My name is Jamal, and I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing, growth, and greater well-being. I believe therapy should provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable being yourself and openly exploring your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Together, we’ll identify what matters most to you, set meaningful and achievable goals, and develop practical strategies to help you navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and confidence.I look forward to working with you and helping you recognize your strengths, build resilience, and create meaningful change in your life.

About Me

Welcome! My name is William Galloway, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist with more than a decade of experience in behavioral health. Throughout my career, I’ve worked in outpatient therapy, inpatient psychiatry, crisis and emergency services, pediatric behavioral health, residential treatment, and community-based care. I enjoy working with teens, young adults, adults, and helping professionals who may be navigating anxiety, depression, stress, substance use, major life transitions, or simply feeling stuck and ready for something different.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, practical, and judgment-free. I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up as yourself, speak openly, and feel supported while also being challenged to grow. I utilize an evidence based treatment in my practice to help you progress toward healing. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing, so we’ll work together to understand your experiences, recognize your strengths, and develop tools that make sense for your life. You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting—sometimes you just need a safe place to begin.

Welcome! My style is warm and eclectic. I draw from a variety of evidenced-based models, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Somatic and Attachment Focused EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to address your concerns and distressing symptoms. I am also a registered yoga teacher (RYT-200), and I enjoy integrating aspects of yoga, including mindfulness and a mind/body approach into therapy where appropriate.

I have spent over 40 years teaching, training, and developing mental health programs for individuals from 4 to 84 find hope once again. I am a life-long learner and add at least one certificate a year to ensure clients are given multiple approaches to what they encounter. I am very honest and direct, but also understand the need for pause and reflection. You know the level of your pain and suffering. My job is to meet you where you are and lead you to the place you want to go.
