Getting to know Derrick Williams

Hi there, I'm Derrick! I am Derrick Williams, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia with 20 years of professional experience. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Norfolk State University. I have experience helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, depression, and career difficulties. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. My approach My therapeutic approach depends on the needs of the clients I am treating. I frequently use Solution Focus Therapy to provide support in addressing personal life challenges. My focus I believe my approach is a good fit for adults and teenagers experiencing life challenges and social issues such as stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, depression, and career difficulties. I help my clients navigate these challenges and develop skills to improve how they feel about themselves and gain a better outlook on life. My communication style My communication style is respectful, accommodating, and supportive. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking about anything, and I have the ability to listen without judgment. My journey to mental healthcare I decided to become a therapist because I wanted to help people make positive changes in their lives. In my experience as an intern with a community agency, addiction counselor, and mental health counselor, I have always enjoyed helping people during difficult times.
