Welcome to Willis Counseling & Consulting
WillisCC is offering therapeutic services for professionals and families in Midwest, South, Mountain, and Hawaii regions with more coming in 2024! In our warm and welcoming studios, guests are encouraged to challenge themselves and find new ways to cope with the challenges in life’s journey. We value providing therapy that is accessible, diverse, and evidence based.
We believe to be human is to experience pain. Our staff view suffering as a part of the human experience but do not believe suffering is the identity of our humanity. Therefore, helping our guests hold their pain lightly & with compassion while getting back moving on their values path is essentially what therapy is all about.
At Willis CC, we are dedicated to offering support and nurturance to those seeking a new direction while holding onto their values. We are also committed to matching our guests with the staff that will most connect to helping them grow. This means our guests have a voice in the match with our staff so that they have optimal connection. Contact Us to to arrange an assessment soon. We are currently accepting New Guests and offer evening & weekend options!
