Hi I am Kathy Williams a LCSW & CADC, I have 30 years experience in Mental Health working with adults and adolescence. I look forward to meeting and assisting in your journey to become a better you.
My approach
I am trained in many approaches but I mostly use CBT, ACT, DBT and 12-Step Recovery work.
My focus
I love working with Multicultural individuals, Veterans and women issues. I am most comfortable treating depression. bipolar, addiction recovery and work related stress.
My communication style
Since I have a trauma focused background I like for my clients to feel they are having a conversation with me in my living room.
My journey to mental healthcare
I believe that the field of Social Work is more of a calling than a job. I have a gift of objectivity that assist people in seeing themselves clearly. I have the ability to ask questions that promote deeper thought in individuals. I have a practical sense that helps clients evaluate what's really important in their lives.
My goals for you
I approach goal setting by using a Values assessment which indicates the clients priorities. we discuss the priorities and identify the barriers and identify goals which we achieve.
My first session with you
Clients should expect to build a rapport that can assist them in determining if we can work together.
