Matthew Heard, LPC
Having been in private practice since 2010 and working with clients from diverse backgrounds I have been successful in building trust with clients and ensuring that I am knowledgeable of the issues they present with. People desire to achieve from therapy is hope, solutions, and insight regarding their past. My recent focus has been working with individuals struggling with addiction (substance, alcohol, pornography, etc) but does not exclude other issues. I also like to share that my Christian faith is important in my life and my practice. Humor is also something I feel is therapeutic. We have to Laugh!!

William Fretwell, LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 16 years of experience in a variety of counseling settings. I grew up in a very dysfunctional family and carried a lot of anger and hurt from those experiences for many years. Finally, I got professional counseling and that helped so much, I decided to become a counselor. I believe the most important qualification of a counselor is the motivation to help clients, and I have that. I like motorcycling, hiking, and exercising. I am an older person (71), a veteran, and a Christian. I look forward to meeting you and working with you.

Welcome and thank you for taking that first step. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My 10+ years of experience in crisis intervention, hospice care, and mental health have given me an extraordinary appreciation for life. Sometimes we struggle with BIG things, like suicidal thoughts or uncontrolled anxiety, while other times we are just trying to "get through". Regardless of where you are I would love the opportunity to speak to you. I am a Christian, and I respect how important our faith is to our well-being; however, I am happy to work with any and all.
