Hi, I'm Shimekia "Trudy" Williams, a couples therapist deeply committed to helping partners strengthen their emotional connection, navigate conflict with compassion, and create the kind of relationship that supports mutual growth and healing. My work is rooted in evidence-based approaches like the Gottman Method (Level 2 trained), and is guided by a deep respect for the lived experiences, cultural identities, and unique rhythms of every couple I work with. As a Black Jamaican woman and healing practitioner, I bring not only clinical training but also lived insight into how love, legacy, and liberation show in intimate partnerships.
I support couples across the spectrum of partnership from pre-engaged and newly committed to those in long-term relationships. I also affirm and celebrate LGBTQIA+ love and non-traditional relationship structures. I believe our relationships can be powerful portals for healing and I'd be honored to walk alo
Body First, Brain Second wellness program is a 9 week program I offer which integrates; Yoga, Tension and Trauma Release Exercise, nature activities and more along with group course to teach you how to reclaim your nervous system after trauma. Visit the Community Wellness section on my website to learn more or message me fore more information.
