Has trauma, anxiety, or depression interfered with the potential to become the best version of yourself? We often feel defined by traumatic or emotionally difficult experiences that often leave us feeling stuck in place rather than moving forward towards our goals. I’m here to provide a safe, affirming space for you to develop an understanding of yourself to overcome past experiences or fears that define you. Our work together will be met with unconditional acceptance, creative approaches, and the utmost compassion.

My goal is to help my clients break free from pain and embark on a journey towards personal growth. I know how it feels to be stuck in pain, and I know how amazing and life changing it feels to find a way out. I believe that this process is what builds beautiful, strong resilient people. My mission is to guide individuals like you along this path of self-discovery and resilience-building. I believe that this journey involves two key steps. First, we must process and heal from past pain. Then we can embark on an exploration of creativity, nature, spirituality, connection and pursuing your personal values and passions.

Mental health challenges are due to the aftereffects of traumatic experiences. Trauma can place a strain on your family, work, relationships, and even cause issues with self-worth. I specialize in trauma therapy along with treating personality disorders, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and addiction. All these disorders can look different from person to person, and that is where our therapeutic journey of empowerment and self-exploration begins. I concentrate on creating a safe space of growth and self-discovery through unconditional positive regard, emotional regulation, and guided activities.

My name is Terri Williams. I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. It is my intention to work collaboratively with adolescents, adults, and families to overcome difficulties and to find healing and growth to live life to the fullest. I am passionate about helping others navigate difficult times in life. My background is working with adolescents and their families. I desire to help clients who are experiencing crisis situations, grief, and trauma. I have a heart for working with women who are in challenging relationships.

My therapeutic approach mainly focuses on helping my clients identify their strengths to help alleviate anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am a firm believer that our childhood experiences contribute to our beliefs, behavioral patterns, and selecting a romantic partner. Therapy is a process! To allow ourselves to be intimate and vulnerable with someone about our experiences and trauma can be daunting. As a therapist, it is my goal to help validate, create a safe environment and help understand aspects of lived experiences.

I believe change is possible for all individuals willing to seek out support and lean into discomfort. You can do hard things and together we'll come up with a plan to live a more fulfilling life. Sometimes it is easier to stay stuck than it is to put in the work to improve our lives and circumstances. I'm here to assist you in getting unstuck whether it be from dysfunctional relationships, depression, communication issues, or life transitions by exploring our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

The constant exhaustion, stress, and anger make you question your resilience. Unsure of where to seek assistance, you don't have to endure this painful journey by yourself.

Hi there, I'm Brent! With more than 15 years of experience in treating people with mental health issues, I have confidence in my ability to help you. Over the course of my career, I have had success with clients ranging in acuity from mildly depressed to hospitalized. I have been the director of multiple mental health facilities and have had thousands of clients directly under my care. I have worked at developing new therapists and polishing seasoned therapists. And, I have learned so much about helping people along the way. I am excited to work with clients of all populations.

Beginning therapy can be scary and is a courageous step toward making proactive changes in your life. I have worked with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, and other sources of emotional pain such as life transitions, stress, trauma, and emotional abuse. I also have extensive experience working with adults, adolescents, couples, and LGBTQ. I am dedicated to working with individuals from diverse ethnic, cultural, and socio-economic backgrounds. I work from an evidence-based psychotherapy orientation that has been proven to be effective for people with mood disorders.

On a daily basis I am given the distinct opportunity to work with people as a vehicle to help them to find their own truth and happiness. Based on our life's path we attach ourselves to people, places and things as a way to connect to the most basic part of ourselves, deserving and capable human beings. Sometimes these attachments result in being pushed further from our genuine selves and create patterns that leave us feeling lost and searching. I believe in the basic premise that at birth people are purely lovable and worthy and have a natural right to be seen and heard. My work with you is formed from this basic belief.
