Deidre Williams

Hello, my name is Deidre Williams. Thank you for considering me as your potential therapist. My goal as a therapist is to create a "felt safe space" for clients to identify solutions to potential problems by strengthening the internal resources they already have within. We will work toward change to increase optimal mental health and overall well-being. To achieve this, I offer a multi-faceted, holistic approach to meet my clients' needs. Some therapeutic techniques I employ include ( but not limited to) are CBT, Solution-Focused based therapy, and trauma-focused therapy. You are in the right place if you are looking for a warm and non-judgmental counselor who will individualize therapy specific to your needs. A bit about me: I have worked as a teacher, school counselor, and therapist in private practice. I have extensive experience working with children ages six years and up, adolescents, and adults. I was the lead crisis counselor for my school district. In this capacity, my experience garnered more knowledge and expertise in mental health, substance abuse, risk assessment, and crisis intervention. Over the years, I have networked with various community organizations and services that can assist clients' needs beyond therapy. Not only am I your therapist, but I can also serve as a bridge to other services for an overall continuum of care I want you to know that we all experience psychic distress from time to time. It is what makes us human. My passion is working with individuals of all ages to reduce psychic pain and improve a sense of calm and confidence. When those "curve ball" moments hit, whether because of significant life transitions or loss or simply because we change as we get older. Just know you're not alone, and I am here to listen.
