Goals of Intimacy Counseling include: Increasing your sense of personal worth & self esteem; Learning the spectrum of intimacy including: emotional, intellectual, spiritual, physical, and sexual; Healing past sexual traumas & learning how trauma affects both the victim, their partner (and all relationships); Resolving barriers to intimacy: emotional and/or physical infidelity; aging issues; children; busy schedules.
Most mental health providers assist the patient(s) with the process of gaining interpersonal awareness, but do not specialize in both the emotional and physical aspects of intimacy. Alternatively, most intimacy coaches do not specialize in the psychodynamic underpinnings of human attachment and resulting relational dynamics. I offer a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential environment that allows couples or individuals to address issues, questions, and concerns pertaining to sexuality, intimacy, and relationships.

Most central to my practice, I've helped clients free themselves of the emotional consequences of trauma, whether it's growing up in alcoholic, abusive, or neglectful families or other traumatic life event.

They come to me for clarity, direction and tools to move beyond old patterns and take action to achieve a greater sense of freedom, fulfillment and authenticity.

As a 1st-generation American, I grew up with my cultural feet on two continents, and I know we carry our family's intergenerational trauma, history, and politics into our current relationships.
Life is an ongoing journey of growth and learning. It involves ups and downs, and ruptures do happen. Do we know how to heal and repair those ruptures? Whether processing grief or trauma, or wondering if intimacy and trust can ever happen, or wondering why we stay stuck in unhealthy patterns that just aren't working, I will help you uncover what it is you really want for yourself and then support you in committing to a path forward. I also welcome the challenge of helping partners listen and feel heard as separate individuals, so that they can collaborate on a shared vision that works for all involved. You deserve more joy!

As a first-generation Pakistani American Muslim therapist, I have four-plus years of experience serving families, children, couples, and individuals dealing with family relational issues, anxiety, depression, grief, PTSD, attention deficit, TBI, SUD, ASD, cultural differences, etc.
Do you ever feel disconnected from yourself or others? Although our country has made progress in raising mental health awareness, a great deal of stigma remains. In many communities, these issues are often shrouded by silence and shame, fostering mental health minimization. I have experience working with individuals and family relationships. I work with problems that arise in blended families, work, health, and career, trying to create better relationships and less conflict. Through role-plays, Gestalt techniques, and mindfulness, you can gain the power to reflect on your feelings, understand yourself and feel better.

Hello, my name is William Webster and my approach to the therapeutic process is to engage in a collaboration with an individual to support change in the areas of anxiety, trauma, depression, parenting, employment, and changes that occur over the course of one's life. My focus would be to learn about the individual's life to support healing and change in the areas of depression, anxiety, parenting, employment challenges, and life changes. In sessions, I strive to create an atmosphere of calm consideration that encourages exploration of the circumstances as well as the development of steps to reduce one's current struggles.

I have had wonderful mentors, teachers, and training opportunities that inform my use of Art Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialetical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), narrative therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-informed and body-based modalities.
Do you find yourself in a constant state of ‘doing’ in order to stay regulated and out of your head? Are you trying to care less about what others think? I work best with individuals who refer to themselves as “over-thinkers” and are looking for new ways to manage the stress of day-to-day life. Contact me for a free consultation if you struggle with the nagging feeling of being disconnected from others, or if you wonder what it would feel like if you could break free from your inner critic and the feeling that you’re lacking despite a mountain of accomplishments. I offer Art Therapy if you'd like to tap into your creative wisdom.
