Finding a therapist is hard! It doesn't help that there are so many to choose from. I think the most important part is actually liking the person you are talking to. Take a look at my page (and website), and if you think we may be a good fit, I encourage you to call me for a free 15 minute consultation. If we end up working together, I will do my best to find which methods align with you so that I can help you get to the place you want to be.

We are all just doing the best that we can, but it is easy to feel depleted, alone, anxious, or depressed. Making the decision and commitment to better oneself is difficult, to say the least. I am here to help you achieve your goals. I aim to provide a safe and trusting environment for you to explore your emotions, experiences, relationships, and struggles. Therapy can be a great place to slow down, to think carefully about your life, and get support. I work collaboratively with my clients, and work to empower and nurture every individual’s strength. I believe education is a primary tool for change.

You need to process in order to grow. You have so many tools but they are not serving you like before. This is a new time in your life and it requires outside support from someone who can help you find new tools and new relationships to yourself, your family, and community. I know women don't often toot their own horns but I have been rated the best therapist in Berkeley on two separate websites (thetenrated.com and threebestrated.com). I will teach you to integrate all aspects of yourself so you don't have to compartmentalize the hurt parts of you. Often times, this means grieving the past and creating new traditions to grow from.

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.

Life presents us with many difficulties. When things are unsatisfying or overwhelming, our mind naturally responds with emotional distress that might manifest as anxiety, anger, sadness, helplessness or shame. We often find it hard to navigate these feelings because dealing with the sources can be very intense and complicated, especially when we lack support. I'm here to provide a safe and supportive space where you can explore and express yourself freely. Together, we can navigate your difficult experiences, process any unresolved issues, and work toward a better relationship with yourself.

There are times in life when people go round and round, and wonder if that is all life has to give...if you feel that the behavior, thoughts, and feelings of yourself or others are not working, then reaching a hand out to an expert who can look for alternatives makes sense.

Sleep problems require specialized treatment. As a board-certified sleep psychologist, I work to improve sleep naturally for adults, teens, and kids who struggle to turn off their minds at night, are wide awake at odd hours, or who feel unrefreshed in the morning and sleepy all day but can't drift off at bedtime. Many experience anxiety about their sleep. I treat distressing nightmares and vivid dreams and work with those who behave unusually while sleeping. A significant part of my work is with folks who use a variety of medications and supplements for sleep, helping them to reduce reliance if that is their goal.
