Substance Abuse
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
Patricia Scholl
Life Coach, CASAC trained, BA in Communications
Substance abuse doesn't only take you away from who you really are, but also rewires your brain. So does any type of learned behavior. In order to change, you will need to learn how to think differently and what to focus on to reach your goals. Communicating is the only way you can get back to the person you were meant to be.

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 — long anchored by R.J. Reynolds, which remains headquartered in the city — 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.
