Areas of clinical focus
Attachment Therapy
Attachment develops early in life and sets the emotional blueprint for our sense of self and experiences in intimate relationships
Research suggests that over 40% of individuals in North America are thought to have some form of attachment disturbance.
Attachment is not addressed by most forms of talk therapy (because it exists below the level of language).
Attachment disturbances are thought to underly many forms of complex trauma and treatment-resistant conditions.
My work draws on the Three Pillars Model of Attachment Treatment, which brings together the best of attachment-based approaches to help people rediscover a sense of safety, belonging, and connection—sometimes called earned security.
The Three Pillars Model is an integrative, evidence-informed framework designed to repair core attachment wounds and support lasting change.
Recovery After Sudden Events
Symptoms of PTSD following a traumatic event, such as an auto-accident are common, and can be a sign that the nervous system is still in “survival mode.”
I offer gentle, body-based (somatic) therapy for those wishing to reclaim calm, reconnect with their bodies and move forward.
Settle your nervous system
Restore a felt sense of safety
Release tension and fear
Address flashbacks and intrusive thoughts
Process trauma-related grief
Support meaning-making and post-trauma integration
“Inspired by my appreciation of nature and my study of Asian philosophy, martial arts, and Buddhism, my practice of psychotherapy seeks to integrate eastern wisdom traditions of the body and heart with western psychological traditions of the mind.”

Discover your ground, heal from within
True healing begins when we can rest into the ground of our being: a place of inner safety, trust, and presence. In our work together, we’ll start by uncovering this foundation, your center, so that healing can naturally emerge from within.
Often, this involves exploring early patterns of connection - how we first learned to feel safe, relate to others, and make sense of our emotional world. When we work at this foundational level, healing can extend outward, touching every part of life - relationships, work, mood, and sense of self..
From this grounded place, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we’ll bring curiosity and care to the parts of your story that have been pushed aside or buried, bringing clarity and integration to what may have once felt overwhelming or stuck. This is about learning to live from a place of connection, strength, and meaning.
My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in attachment-based principles, utilizing evidenced-informed practices such as the Three Pillars Model of Attachment Therapy. I aim to create a respectful, steady space where you can do deep work without pressure or pretense. Depending on your needs, I integrate somatic, mindfulness-based, expressive, and cognitive therapy methods to support your process and your goals.

About Wills Reed, MS, LCMHCA
I'm a mental health counselor with a deep belief in our natural capacity to grow, heal, and reconnect: to ourselves, to others, and to what matters most. My approach blends the grounded insight of psychotherapy with the practical wisdom of Eastern traditions, like meditation, martial arts, and mindfulness.
I work with individuals, couples, and parents-to-be with a curiosity to explore themselves and an openness to growth. In addition, I work with individuals recovering from sudden traumatic events, such as auto-accidents. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or just know something needs to shift, I offer a steady, supportive space where we can slow down, get clear, and do the work together.
Presence is at the heart of my practice, and I believe real change happens in relationship when we’re seen, respected, and given room to show up as we are. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you, it’s about helping you reconnect to yourself and to others.
I hold a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Prescott College and draw from my long-standing practices in meditation and martial arts. My work is shaped by a respect for the body, for emotional honesty, and for the kind of growth that shows up not just in ideas, but in how we live and relate.
I live in Asheville, North Carolina with my fiancée. I grew up in these mountains, and they continue to ground and inspire me. Outside the therapy room, I spend time hiking, creating art, practicing martial arts, and kiteboarding when the wind picks up.
Clinical areas of focus: Integrative attachment therapy (Three Pillars Model of Attachment Therapy), body-based therapies, mindfulness-based therapy
