Hutch Wheless
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFTA
I work with individuals and couples impacted by substance use, focusing on understanding the patterns and underlying factors that keep the cycle going. My approach is practical and nonjudgmental, helping clients build awareness, develop healthier coping strategies, and strengthen accountability in a way that fits their goals. Whether you’re working toward reduction, sobriety, or supporting a partner, therapy is tailored to create sustainable change. I integrate evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) while also addressing relationship dynamics, emotional regulation, and relapse prevention.

Substance Abuse
Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have written a book Overcoming Your Addictions which shows you how to apply the principles of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and CBT to your self-defeating addictions. To overcome an addiction you first need to learn to accept yourself unconditionally with your addiction. Your self-defeating addictive behavior does not diminish your worth as a person. Putting yourself down will not help you overcome your addiction. Secondly, you need to learn to build your discomfort tolerance for urges, develop a healthy network of friends who will not lead you back to your addiction, and a vitally absorbing interest in life that makes your life meaningful.

As a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS), I support individuals navigating recovery, and the deeper emotional experiences that often come with it.

Winston-Salem is home to Wake Forest University School of Medicine and Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist — one of the most significant academic medical centers in the Southeast — and this concentration of medical training and research deeply shapes the quality and sophistication of its mental health clinical community. The city's tobacco heritage — once the home of R.J. Reynolds — has given way to a growing medical, technology, and arts economy, and therapists frequently work with the identity transitions of a workforce navigating this shift. The city has a large Black community with deep historical roots in the Piedmont Triad, and culturally affirming therapists who work with racial trauma and intergenerational resilience are well represented. Winston-Salem's arts and innovation culture supports strong demand for therapists experienced with creative identity and career-related stress.
