Healing happens here.

OVERCOME SETBACKS, MANAGE ILLNESS & RECLAIM YOUR LIFE

Sometimes we lose
our way.

Life can leave us feeling stuck, hopeless or desperate for change. Have you or has someone you love been diagnosed with a mental illness, and you’re not sure how to move forward? Have past experiences or bad relationships left you feeling sidelined, trapped, or held under by anxiety or depression? Are you self-medicating with harmful substances or unhealthy behaviors and just want to be free? 

There is hope.

Bill Parker is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor
who helps adults, adolescents & couples:

  • Uncover/address causes of anxiety & depression

  • Heal and grow after trauma, abuse or loss

  • Understand and manage mental illness

  • Overcome addiction & substance abuse

  • Rebuild after unhealthy, toxic relationships

  • Change negative & distorted thinking

He can help you, too.

Your healing starts here.

  • WHO?

    Bill works with adults, adolescents & couples in Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens and Loxahatchee, Florida. He specializes in mental illness, trauma, substance abuse & relationships.

  • WHERE?

    Experience Matters Counseling is a no-office practice! Bill meets clients in locations convenient for them, often at the RayShell Ranch or on the beach at sunrise, sunset or anytime in between.

  • HOW MUCH?

    Experience Matters Counseling is an in-network provider with most medical insurance carriers. (See current list.) For uninsured clients, the cost is $120 per 50-minute session.

There is a reason you are here.

Chances are, something is not working for you. It might be a harmful relationship, a behavior pattern that’s holding you back, or a mental illness you’re struggling to manage. Whatever your reason, I am so glad you are here. 

As a licensed mental health counselor, I provide scientifically proven therapeutic interventions to help you get unstuck and back to the unique, purpose-driven person you were made to be. Together, we can uncover the desire and motivation you need to change patterns and start moving forward! Just being open to change is the first step… and like a snowball rolling downhill, motivation increases with the momentum of progress.

Not sure you are ready for traditional therapy? Me either! I am a no-office, no-hype guy whose journey to counseling has been unconventional. I practiced law for 20 years and then ran operations at a sea turtle rescue center before returning to my first calling to help others find meaning, purpose and healing. Today, my favorite client breakthroughs happen at the ranch in Loxahatchee or on the beach in Jupiter. Nothing brings me more joy than helping someone overcome setbacks, change negative thinking patterns, learn new skills and get off the bench and back in the life they once envisioned. 

So let’s talk. I offer every interested person a free phone consultation, which gives you a chance to ask questions, share your story and learn more about who I am and how I can help you. No pressure, and no strings attached. If you’re ready to reclaim your life, it’s a great first step.

Bill Parker, J.D., M.S.
Licensed Mental Health Counselor

  • "After experiencing anxiety and feelings of depression, I began speaking to Bill. He helped tremendously by showing me ways to change my thinking patterns and understand more about what I was going through. By putting his advice into practice, I was able to improve greatly."

    Tyler, Former Client

  • "Bill is person-centered and hones into the heart of the matter by listening empathically and with focus. He has life experience, and he brings that experience to the sessions. He only advises, not dictates or orders what should be done next. He helps me to find the solutions for myself, and simply walks with me through the dark areas."

    Thomas, Former Client

  • "Bill was my mental health therapist for close to a year, and I can’t say enough good things about him. He was approachable and kind, yet did not let me stagnate in my growth. He challenged me to be my best self, to address any old issues that were holding me back, and taught me how to change my life by changing my thoughts. I would highly recommend Bill to anyone who wants to change their life for the better."

    Jeannie, Former Client
