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.

I bring over 20 years of experience in mental health, addiction counseling, public health, and higher education leadership into my work with clients. My approach is grounded in both clinical expertise and lived experience, which allows me to meet you not just as a professional—but as a whole person who understands complexity, transition, and healing on multiple levels.

My work centers on helping individuals reconnect with who they are at their core—beyond survival, expectations, or systems that may have shaped them. I integrate emotional wellness, identity exploration, and purpose-driven growth into our work together.

Whether you are navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, or questions around identity and purpose, I create a space where you can show up fully and begin the process of realignment and healing.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

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 Fayetteville

Searching for addiction therapists in Fayetteville starts with finding care that matches the type of support you want. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and concerns that overlap with anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you review therapists, look for experience with approaches such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-assisted care when a prescriber is part of your care team.

Fayetteville has a range of local therapists, but the right fit may depend on schedule, appointment format, and the therapist’s experience with your specific concerns. Virtual appointments can expand your options beyond nearby offices while still letting you stay connected to care from home. As you compare therapists, check whether they are accepting new patients, offer scheduling that fits your week, and provide a free phone consultation. Reading bios can help you see how a therapist describes their approach, including whether they use a nonjudgmental, harm reduction-informed framework.

Addiction therapy in Fayetteville can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, take a wide range of insurance plans, and show estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, so you can browse profiles, compare fit, 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:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
