Your decision to enter into therapy is probably one of the most important personal decisions you've ever made. Finding the right therapist, therefore, is a critical consideration. With over twenty years of experience, I have been effectively assisting individuals resolve the entire range of personal and interpersonal challenges. Are you experiencing depression, anxiety, loss, unhealthy relationships, facing a major transition, stress, decision or needing to discover new ways to cope and problem solve? Then therapy can be an enlightening process that can help you manage these issues, develop self awareness and enhance the quality of your life.

My greatest strength as a therapist is my capacity for empathy and unconditional positive regard.; I am always validating, supportive, genuine, and nonjudgmental towards all my clients, regardless of who they are or why they are seeking treatment. As a result my clients trust me, and they know I genuinely want them to be successful. All of these things help me to build and strengthen the therapeutic alliance, which I believe is the foundation of successful treatment.

My theoretical approach pulls from Cognitive Behavioral Theory and many successful techniques (humanistic, strategic, psychodynamic, and solution focused), which allows me to personally tailor your therapy session based upon your unique needs in an eclectic and integrated approach to therapy. Therapist flexibility is a valuable tool in helping my clients gain a balanced perspective on the life issues they are facing. I view therapy as a collaborative, sharing experience and seek to help my clients feel safe, comfortable, and truly understood.

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.

Struggling with addiction & feel rehab isn’t an option? Want to adjust your relationship with a substance instead of being told you must quit? Leaving your family, job, school or responsibilities for an extended period of time is not always needed to get yourself healthy & on track. If you or a loved one are struggling with addiction, I know the challenges of this lifestyle. Being caught in the cycle of addiction is hard-feelings of anxiety, guilt, & shame. You may have tried cutting back or stopping on your own, only to find yourself engaging in the same unhelpful behavior. I specialize in moderation & abstinence based approaches.

My successful client is interested in bettering themselves, is open to suggestions and is willing to work hard to improve their life. I would enjoy assisting you in bringing joy, adventure and romance back to your relationship. Are you stuck in a job where you feel unfulfilled? I can help you create a position, or market yourself to find satisfaction in your job. Is depression or anxiety hindering you from doing things you enjoy? You're likely to respond to my CBT based program to assist you in recognizing patterns that are holding you prisoner and keeping you from your dreams.

I believe that many of the conflicts or presenting issues we come through the door with are a by product of our early experiences and the culmination of our current coping (which likely originated in our families). This automatic/unconscious coping is sometimes outdated, no longer functional and can limit our capacity for fullfillment and create troubling symptoms. In therapy, we can begin to explore the circumstances that may have originally warranted certain ways of being. This exploration can give way to the release of old patterns, pent up feelings and distorted core beliefs that have proven limiting in the present.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience who specializes in treating teens and adults in inpatient and in outpatient clinical settings. My work is based on the belief that people want to be happy, effective, and successful in their lives and that they have within themselves the resources and skills necessary to achieve these goals. I believe that psychotherapy can help individuals most effectively use their resources and strengths to increase self-understanding, to improve decision-making, to solve problems, and to create the paths to the lives they want.

Has it been difficult for you to enjoy the things that were once fun for you? Perhaps there was a moment in time when things seemed so much brighter. Is it hard to recall the last time things were bright and you genuinely felt happy? This feeling can be very isolating. It's hard to function when you're unable to sleep at night because your thoughts are unkind, always pointing out the negative things that have happened that day. Schedule a consult today! I would love to help you discover healthy ways to overcome the struggle.
