When symptoms or problems threaten to erode your (or your family's) health and well-being, psychotherapy has been demonstrated not only to provide relief, but also long-term personal growth and heightened emotional knowledge. This helps to insulate you against the further innumerable challenges in life. Psychotherapy allows you to better understand yourself and others, leading to greater satisfaction in all aspects of life— in work, love, family and play.
Testimonials
Leigh C., attendee, National Spasmodic Dysphonia Association Meeting
Thank you, Dr. Wayland, for a life-changing presentation. Many of us talked about you and the hope we could have through acceptance of who we are. The conference had been depressing for attendees. After all, how often do you want to hear that our “condition” has no cure? Your blend of truth, humor, and understanding had a gentle strength we all needed. My husband and I have written to NSDA to have you speak again.
Marla T., 36, Event planner and accident victim
For seven years I have been disabled with pain. Sixteen weeks with you and I am pain free. Why don’t doctors refer to you sooner?
Alan S., HVAC technician
I grew up embarrassed because I was not like other kids. My mother told me I was retarded. When I was told I had ADHD, I felt like my doctor added more brick to my load. He recommended you and I thought it was because I was really messed up. With your help, I am lots better. I don't have to take a lot of medicine. I passed my training program. I got married this year.
Bob V., 43, Accountant
You were the first therapist who was honest with me. After being in treatment three times, and having seven therapists (all of them court ordered), I thought I could pull the wool over your eyes, too. You were the first to tell me how you worked and what you expected from me. You called me on my stuff and my honesty. You would not take half-measures from me. While other therapists wanted me to like them and let me slide, you earned my respect and trust and gave me the self determination to stop using drugs.

I don’t have to drive to Austin to find a great therapist. You’re here [in Georgetown].
Mickey, 44, Attorney
Two treatments could not help me stay sober. When my minister referred me to you, I had no hope for me, and no trust that you could help. Your straight-forward, no-nonsense, supportive approach gave me the courage to stop using. Recovery suddenly seemed to make sense. The relapse prevention group was a great place to practice solving day-to-day problems without drinking myself into a stupor. I never thought it would happen.
Doug S., 44, Teacher and accident victim
My pain is gone! No more medicine, no more P.T., and no more hopelessness! Why wasn’t I referred to you sooner?
Anonymous, 40, Software designer
My sexual addiction was destroying my life, my family, and my career. The road to recovery has been very hard. You were there; you are still there. Thanks for hanging in with me. My life has a future again.
Terry A., 22, student
Thanks. Your help got me back into school. I didn’t know that my grief could be helped. Everyone told me they understood what I was going through. No one understood, not even my family. Instead of telling me you understood, you told me that you would respect the importance of what I was feeling. I knew you would be truthful.
Jeanine S., 50, Teaching assistant
Five years, and still clean and sober. I had been using since I was 13. Thirty years later, I find you, and now I am living a miracle.
Linda R., 38, Printer
I wanted to let you know that you are the most different therapist I know. You are honest, confrontive when you need to get results quickly, and offer true hope. I was so grateful you were not gushy and oozy. You talked to me like a person. You were down to earth instead of false and phony. Thanks.

My sexual addiction was killing me, made my family leave, made me lose two jobs . . . I didn't want to believe my acting out was an addiction. I was so embarrassed I was serious about suicide. It's taken a while . . . you hung with me. I am free from acting out for the past three years. My family is back.
Melanie, 47, Phlebotomist
I was so messed up when I met you. You liked me anyhow. You made me feel acceptable. Now I laugh a lot.
