Will Dempsey is the founder of Heads Held High Counseling. He started this practice with a simple goal: to help people. Over time, he realized how often the healthcare system gets in the way of that. Insurances don’t pay providers enough to make a livable wage, but charging what’s fair for therapists can make care unaffordable for clients. It’s a broken system, and he wanted to do something about it.
That’s why he expanded into a group practice. By bringing together a talented team, we’re able to push for higher insurance rates while still providing care that’s accessible—especially for marginalized communities that are often priced out of mental health services. Our team also specializes in culturally competent care. As members of the queer community ourselves, we have a deeper understanding of what it means to live as a queer person and the unique challenges that come with it.
