“I am a female in her early thirties. Will is an exceptional counselor who truly has a gift for what he does. From the very first session, he created an environment where I felt completely heard, understood, and never judged. He has a way of making even the hardest conversations feel comfortable, and it’s easy to build trust with him. You can tell he genuinely cares about his clients and pours his heart into helping them grow and heal. His compassion, insight, and ability to connect with people make him an incredible therapist. I highly recommend Will to anyone looking for a counselor who will listen with empathy, encourage without judgment, and walk alongside you through life’s challenges.”
“I am a transgender male in his late thirties. Counselor seems like a simple term, and perhaps that’s how it’s portrayed in most media. It’s not a person with a notebook asking you what your relationship with your mom was like. It’s beyond that. Finding the person who makes you feel like you aren’t a test dummy. It’s finding someone that really captures who you are, and listens, and actually helps you heal the trauma. He helps you do the work, giving you some tools to keep you safe. Not just your present, but things buried deep that have yet to heal. He’s dedicated. He helped me and continues to do so. I could wax poetic all day. The truth is, I chose William. First choice after losing my former counselor and having to search again. Upon looking, I found Will. And, in person he was a joy. I could see with clarity, there was just a way he helped you A warmth, to help me calm. Maybe some better understanding about who I am. The instant ease of speaking to him and the truth of me being afraid to open up. It was instant. Call, set up an appointment! It happened pretty quick! Fundamentally, he guided me into what I thought I could never achieve. Thank you Will.”
“I am a young adult male who has been seeing Will Dunbar for the past 3 years. I started seeing him when I was at a very low point in my life where nothing seemed worth it and all roads led to suicide. He has managed to pull me out and has been with me through peaks and valleys. He is a very good listener and validates my experiences and emotions yet knows the right time to challenge me. I have made so much progress with him and he is the best therapist I’ve seen throughout the years.”
“I had the pleasure of supervising William Dunbar earlier in his career and now have the privilege of working alongside him as a colleague. Watching Will’s growth as a clinician has been extremely rewarding as I’ve seen firsthand the amazing therapist he has become. He consistently demonstrates compassion, professionalism, sound clinical judgment, and a genuine commitment to helping his clients. Will’s dedication to ongoing learning and providing high-quality, ethical care is evident in everything he does. I recommend Will without hesitation to anyone seeking a skilled, thoughtful, and caring therapist.”

“I’ve been working with Will for a while now, using both EMDR and traditional therapy. I’ve been in and out of therapy since I was a teenager, and by far, Will has helped me move closer to healing and wholeness than anyone else I’ve worked with. He has a unique blend of intuition, empathy, and tough love that makes me feel safe while also refusing to let me remain stagnant. He knows how to challenge me in ways that promote real growth.
I’ve also never experienced healing as quickly as I have with EMDR. It’s hard to explain how it works, but before treatment, I would become a complete emotional wreck whenever I was triggered. Now, I can recognize when I’ve encountered a trigger or a stressful situation, yet I’m able to stay calm, grounded, and in control of myself.
I truly feel like I’m the healthiest and best version of myself I’ve ever been. Thank you, Will!”
“I have walked many seasons beside Will, and in that time I have come to know him as one who tends the inner fires of others with uncommon care. He carries the quiet gifts of a true guide—deep listening, steady presence, and a wisdom that feels both ancient and alive. In his company, people are invited into a kind of sacred clearing where their stories can unfold without fear, where they are both held and gently called forward into who they are becoming. There is something in him that cannot be taught, only lived—a grounded compassion that makes even the most difficult passages feel navigable. I would entrust those I love to his care without hesitation, knowing they would be met with integrity, depth, and reverence. His devotion to the well-being of others is not confined to his work; it is woven into the very way he moves through the world.”

“As an African American man in my early 30s living more than four hours away from my family and having family trauma, therapy has become an important part of my personal growth, and Mr. Dunbars guidance has played a significant role in that process. Through his knowledge, patience, and consistent support, he has helped me become more vulnerable in healthy ways and opened doors to deeper, more honest relationships with my family. He’s challenged me to develop greater self-awareness, teaching me to better understand who I am, why I respond the way I do, and how my experiences have shaped me. Because of our work together, I’ve learned to be more patient with myself, my family, and the different seasons of my life. Mr. Dunbar has equipped me with tools to calm myself, pause before reacting, and think through situations with intention rather than emotion. His encouragement has helped me continue growing into a more grounded, reflective, and emotionally aware person, and I truly appreciate the impact he’s had on my journey.”
“I am a 45-year-old female, and I’ve been a patient of Will’s for about 4 years. When I first came back to see will I was very upset over a situation. Literally shaking mad all the time. Will introduced me to EMDR treatment. Which was a blessing to me and my family. I’m very thankful for Will’s guidance and support.”
“I am a young adult female who went to William during a rather dark time in my life. I was consumed with a lot of self pity and darkness. My can honestly say who I am now would not be possible without him. His therapy, openness, random proverbs that will eventually make sense, helped me through life and got me to being the woman I am. He is honestly the best therapist I ever had!”
“As a woman in my mid-fifties who has been seeing Will for over a year, I have found him to be kind, compassionate, understanding, and genuinely empathetic. He is easy to build rapport with and he creates a safe, supportive environment where I feel heard and respected. Will is also open to clients having differing viewpoints, fostering honest, judgment-free conversations that have been invaluable to my therapeutic growth.”
“I am a female in my late thirties. Starting therapy with Will Dunbar has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Will is an amazing therapist! He is very easy to connect with and shows his care and support. Will was able to connect with my son and help him in way I was not. Having his support and guidance has helped me through some very difficult times in my life. I’m so grateful for him and for the progress I’ve made so far and having the tools he has given me to continue working on myself.”
