I am Dr. Willie Boddie, LCSW. I work with adults who live with the effects of trauma, HIV disease, and members of the LBGTQIA+ community. I provide individual counseling focusing on the challenging thoughts that result in emotional disturbances.
My approach
I use a client-centered approach to therapy. I build on the client's strengths and use those strengths as a foundation to develop new coping strategies to help them meet their desired goals.
My focus
My work focuses on adults, many living with trauma challenges. I work with the LBGTQIA+ community and those living with HIV disease to help mitigate the stigma and other challenges often faced by members of these groups.
My communication style
I attempt to create a calm and neutral setting so that clients feel comfortable discussing more difficult and sensitive topics frequently associated with traumatic situations.
My journey to mental healthcare
My interest in mental health and working with the groups mentioned earlier began when I volunteered with a local AIDS services organization. I ultimately completed my master's degree and began working with individuals with trauma and, over the years, began observing the overlap in these populations.
My goals for you
Goal setting is client-directed in my practice.
My first session with you
During the first session, individuals should expect a brief discussion about what has prompted their decision to engage in therapy, an assessment of their risks, and the development a crisis response plan.
