Professional statement

William McLemore is a Licensed Profession Counselor in the State of Texas and a Resident in Counseling in The Commonwealth of Virginia. Mr. McLemore served in the U.S. Army from 2000 to 2009 with a combat tour in Iraq in 2005. he Graduated From Houston Christian University with a Master Degree in Psychology (2018) and a Master in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (2023). He Specializes in Veteran and first responder related mental health injuries.

A Veteran. Is a person, that choose for any number of reasons, to join the Military and sign a check to their nation which included their life and well being. As a veteran you are expected to expend your body and mind for the mission up to and including death. While completing the mission is the goal, casualties are inevitable. Most people can spot a veteran who suffered a physical injury in the line of duty (Burns/Amputations/Scars). Very few if any can spot the veteran who suffered a mental health injury in the line of duty (PTSD/Anxiety/Depression/Adjustment Disorder, etc.).

This is were Mr. McLemore Comes in. As a veteran he has marched that mile in the same boots they did. Enjoyed the same world famous MRE's. Veterans will open up to other veterans in ways they will not with a civilian counselor. Many suffer in silence not knowing that there is help out there willing to help them.

For your first session we get to know each other and see if we are a good fit. From there we go at your pace letting you learn and develop the skills to manage your mental health injury. Mr. McLemore's desire is to help you find the healing you have earned for your service to your nation.


Message to clients

While I focuses on veteran mental health, I am is also more than able to help people seeking counseling in other areas. I offer Christian counseling for those of the Christian Faith. I am also sensitive to those of other faiths and will attempt to incorporate your faith into your counseling process. I have worked with couples of varying sexual and gender identities. At the end of the day I want my clients to find life with abundance.

For veterans, I know that there is a stigma within the military regarding mental health services and I want to insure you that I am not going to breach confidentiality with you unless there is an imminent threat of harm (We will discus this in the first session). I am going to offer you a place where you can talk to someone that is not going to judge you. Someone that understands the military culture and its many idiosyncratic issues that are only know to those that have served. A place you can process what you have gone through and make sense of it. I can provide assessment for mental health used in VA disability claims.

My older client is 83 and my youngest is 23 (currently)
