Good to meet you.
Research shows that the single most significant driver of change in therapy is the relationship between the client and therapist. I believe effective counseling requires compassion, acceptance, empathy, trust, curiosity, honesty, and a true sense of connection.
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 am a compassionate, person-centered Clinical Counselor with over 20 years of experience in the fields of mental health and addiction treatment. Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of settings, including hospitals, military families, inpatient and outpatient programs, schools, and clients' homes, supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.
I believe that every person has the capacity for growth, healing, and positive change. My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and a non-judgmental attitude, creating a safe space where clients can feel heard, understood, and supported. I work collaboratively with clients, recognizing that they are the experts in their own lives, and helping them build on their strengths to regain a sense of balance, confidence, and well-being.
My goal is to support you on your journey toward meaningful and lasting change while fostering hope, resilience, and personal empowerment.
We all need and deserve a place we can slow down, feel heard, and make sense of what we’re carrying.
Whether you or your child is navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can be an opportunity to better understand yourself, heal, and reconnect with—or discover—your strengths.
I truly love what I do. One of the most rewarding parts of being a therapist is getting to know each person’s unique story, understanding what matters most to you, and helping you work toward the future you envision for yourself or your child.
I believe you already have strengths, abilities, and resilience within you. My role is to help you uncover those strengths, build on them, and develop the tools and confidence to navigate life with greater clarity and resilience. I want therapy to be a place where you feel comfortable being yourself, where your experiences are heard and valued, and where we can work together toward meaningful change.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in North Carolina
Searching for therapists in North Carolina means choosing from a wide range of licensed therapists across urban, suburban, and rural areas. The right fit may depend on what you want support with, such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, or life transitions. As you compare North Carolina therapists, look for training and specialties that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy.
Your options for therapy in North Carolina may look different in Charlotte, Raleigh, Asheville, or smaller communities across the state. Some people prefer meeting with a therapist in person, while others choose virtual sessions for schedule flexibility or access to more therapists licensed in North Carolina. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and areas of focus before you book.
The cost of mental health care in North Carolina varies, and therapy can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists and counselors in North Carolina who match your preferences, take your insurance, and are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see your estimated cost before booking.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
