Getting to know Anita Williams
Hi there, I'm Anita!
Anita Williams is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC). She earned her Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Nevada, Reno. Anita is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR Therapy) and certified in Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), both evidence-based modalities for treating trauma, anxiety, and other distressing life events. She utilizes guided visualizations and expressive therapies such as bibliotherapy, art and music therapy, and sandtray therapy in conjunction with individualized client and group sessions.
My approach
I strive to provide a safe environment where individuals can develop their self-awareness and internal sense of empowerment. Treatment modalities include integrated holistic wellness approaches, EMDR, SSP, guided visualizations, expressive therapies, and sandtray therapy.
My focus
I work with adolescents and adults and have over 10 years of experience treating clients with cluster diagnoses, Autism Spectrum Disorder, addictions, ADHD, anxiety, chronic pain or health issues, and trauma. Over the past 8 years, I have focused on developing an integrated health and wellness, neurodiverse-affirming practice that treats the whole person.
My communication style
All of us have our own strengths and difficulties with unique ways of thinking, doing, and learning. I focus on building a therapeutic relationship of collaboration with each client while supporting the whole person through strengths-based and neurodiverse-affirming practices. My hope is for all individuals to create a sense of meaning and purpose.
My goals for you
During our initial sessions, I work toward developing the client's trust. I listen to their presenting concerns and issues and invite them to collaborate on prioritizing their goals for solutions.
