Welcome to the Start of Something New
Whatever it is that brings you to therapy, we will work together to move you towards realizing your goals for a more rich, more connected, and more fulfilled version of your life.
Hello! I'm Dr. Wayne Bullock
I've been providing therapy since 2009 and have sought out extensive specialized training to be able to make sure that the experience I provide allows for you to not only reduce distressing feelings, but to improve your life beyond where you started.
Collaborative & Individualized Therapy
You're unique, and the experiences you're going through are also. You deserve therapy that is tailored to you and designed to help you thrive.
Let's Put Our Minds Together
I'll be with you step by step as you navigate making changes that will improve your life.
Individual Therapy
Therapy to help you learn about yourself, your struggles, how you got to this place, as well as how to make the changes to grow into a better place in life. We’ll focus on your narrative and ways to change how you engage in life to help you get out of ruts, face challenges, and take risks necessary for a more exciting and vitalized life.
Couple’s Therapy
Therapy to help you and your partner to learn more about each other and the relationship dance you do together. This will help you to remember what brought you together and learn the ways in which you stumble. We’ll practice communicating in new and more connecting ways so that your relationship returns to feeling fulfilling and deeply meaningful.
Clinical Consultation for Therapists
Consultation to help you to feel more grounded in your clinical work. Whether this time limited for a therapy you’re currently engaged that is leaving you feeling like you need a little more guidance, or an ongoing consultation to help you to develop more relational therapeutic skills, I can help you to feel more confident and impactful in your clinical work.
Specialties
While I have experience working with people on many concerns, here are some areas of speciality which I have additional experience and training helping people. Looking for therapy to address something else?
Reach out and we can chat to see how I can help!
Work with someone who gets it. I've spent my entire career specializing in providing affirmative therapy for sexual & gender queer people.
I have particular experience working with gay men at the intersection of them identifying as men and gay/queer. In our society, this intersection represents unique challenges and experiences, and I am here to help you navigate them.
Sex in our society is often viewed as a taboo topic, with people finding it incredibly hard to be open with themselves & others about their sexual wishes and identities. I completed a Master's in Human Sexuality to help you proudly connect with your sexuality.
Perhaps things take more energy than they once did, or you've felt sad, lonely, or like you're no good. You may be wondering what happened to the sense that life could be more exciting. Depressive symptoms are common and you do not need to endure them alone.
Thinking, rethinking & overthinking, worried about what others think about you. Or, perhaps, ruminating about something that occurred while you were at work earlier. Anxiety can become a heavy burden. While it may be a part of life, we won't let it control you any longer.
For those who experience trauma, life feels unbearably chaotic & painful. I know I need to earn your trust and work with you to reestablish your sense of safety and sense of a worthwhile future.
Schedule an Appointment
While reaching out can possibly be difficult and anxiety-provoking, it can also empower, potentially defining the next chapter of your life.
Whether this is your first time or you've decided to return to therapy, this is a strong data-backed investment into yourself and your future. You’ve already taken the first step by searching for a therapist you can trust. Let's continue the conversation...
