Dr. Jim Wayland is a psychotherapist in private practice 25 years focusing on adults and adult issues.  His approach to psychotherapy is known for offering positive results to people who have been struggling with significant life-issues and emotional discouragement.

He has found that most often there are two levels of life-issues; the presenting issue and the life-long issue which is usually not the presenting issue.  The presenting issue is the issue that brings a person to therapy.  The life-long issue that is the reason many people continue to have problems, fears, and feelings of trauma outside of psychotherapy.  These issues are from one’s past and may include a history of abuse, life-long low self-esteem, family of origin issues, e.g., loss of family connections and abandonment. Regardless of the focus of therapy life-long issues must also be explored and addressed for successful resolution and completion of psychotherapy.

Jim uses several psychotherapeutic methods and tools in his practice to provide effective, efficient results.  He is a licensed professional counselor, a licensed chemical dependency counselor, a Fellow in the Association of Scientific Hypnotherapy, and is certified in Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR).  Jim uses these methods, and his experience, in helping individuals and their families suffering from personal crisis, addiction, stress-related illness, and chronic pain

Dr. Wayland also has experience in neuropsychological research, college teaching, public speaking, mentoring and coaching.  He is known nationally and internationally for his work with addictions –alcohol, drug and sexual.  Jim is a member of the Texas Medical Association’s Speakers Bureau.  He is an often requested motivational speaker.  He is noted for having a unique ability to connect with others using insight, experience, and the humor of truth.  He encourages use of healthy emotions, healthy thinking, and spirituality to promote successful lives, rewarding relationships, flourishing careers, and healthy living.
