“Billy stood out immediately and I continue to look, quickly realize it may be the best option for me. First impressions confirmed I was right. Initially I was looking for similarities but quickly realized if I am seeking chanhe, I should welcome contrast. Mr. Bruce is very gracious and met me where I was. Trully a safe landing for me, as someone who was always apprehensive to outside help. I appreciate the opportunity to receive and I look forward to more conversations.”

Getting to know Billy Bruce
Hi! My name is Billy.
Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, stress, anger...or possibly all five? These issues are not uncommon and can be debilitating, especially when guilt or shame are added to the mix. But you can kick them all to the curb. All it takes is a willingness to change your perspectives.
I've worked with thousands of clients (adults and children) who struggle with self-defeating beliefs that zap the joy out of life. And I've found that Hope and Purpose, along with healthy doses of Motivation and Creativity, crush inner demons. How do you find Hope and Purpose? It's not as complicated as you might think. We are made to help each other. We are made to communicate. We are made to have a positive impact. Sometimes, though, life attacks from all directions and leaves us feeling defeated. That's when we need help.
I firmly believe in Jesus Christ, the Biblical Savior not the mascot some politicians have reduced Him to. But I'm no preacher and will not judge you if your beliefs differ from mine. The Jesus I believe in loves all people, not just a select few.
I'm also a huge Ohio State Buckeyes fan. I'll accept Michigan fans but cannot promise the same nonjudgmental stance I noted above. :)
I'm here to listen. I'm here to learn about your struggles and find ways to help you view them differently. And, who knows? I may even share some of my Blackstone Griddle secrets along the way. God Bless!
What should a new client know about working with you?
In our first few sessions, my main goal is to build rapport. I want to get to know you and let you get to know me. Counseling isn't some mystical science. It's a process that evolves as people learn about each other. You probably counsel others every day without realizing it.
After we have worked together for a while, you will notice I love to joke and laugh. It breaks the ice and makes communication more fluid. But you'll also notice I can be very serious, especially about core beliefs and perspectives that negatively alter your life. I'll seek common areas of interest to enhance communication. And I will encourage you to realize there are two pains in life: The pain of discipline and the pain of regret. I've experienced both. The pain of discipline is always the road to take!

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

I immediately connected with Billy and enjoyed his engaging personality. He pushed me to think and approach things differently. I have been making great strides and I am very grateful for his perspective and allowing me to open up in ways I have not for years.
