My name is Bill Massey and I am a licensed clinical social worker practicing in west central Georgia and east central Alabama. I graduated from the University of Georgia's MSW program in 1993 and became an LCSW in 1996. I have worked in home health and hospice for most of my career with a strong emphasis on geriatrics and dementia care. I have experience in inpatient psychiatric settings and residential services as well. I am looking to fill a niche that I have seen wanting attention for some time. For many years I have seen elders and their families in their homes but had to refer out any counseling other than crisis intervention to outpatient therapists. The problem is that I have been referring homebound people for outpatient therapy. This is not effective for many reasons. With the help of Grow Therapy, I intend to offer my services of counseling and case management to people in the comfort of their own homes. I will become a mobile mental health provider to serve a population that has gone largely underserved for all too long. My coverage area for in-home therapy will be Lee, Russell, and Chambers counties in Alabama as well as Muscogee, Chattahoochee, and Harris Counties in Georgia. I am opening up limited appointment times for virtual counseling as of mid May 2024.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I present with a down to earth approach and conversational style. I believe in the use of humor in counseling when appropriate and have developed strong communication skills and the ability to build rapport quickly.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

With my strong background in homecare, I have developed the ability to build rapport with clients rapidly while providing counseling in a personal and conversational manner. My approach is to talk with people the way I want to be spoken to. My therapy style is such that two adults sit together and have a conversation that leads to therapeutic outcomes.
