Getting to know Gencia Williams

Hi there, I'm Gencia! Hello! My name is Gencia Williams, and I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist with 13 years of experience serving individuals in Southern California. I believe that people enter therapy hoping to improve, better manage, or resolve what they are experiencing. Therapy is an active process that requires commitment and consistency from the individual. My approach I view therapy as a partnership between myself and the person seeking support. I meet each individual where they are, using both non-directive (person-centered therapy) and directive approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution Focused, and other Brief Therapies. My focus I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults, providing individual, family, and couples therapy. Currently, through telehealth services, I am partnering only with adults for individual therapy. I have experience supporting individuals facing anxiety, depression, grief, workplace stress and challenges, interpersonal difficulties, aging, and life transitions. My communication style I am fully present in each session because I value connecting with others. I seek to understand and am empathic and non-judgmental. I communicate transparently in a direct yet conversational manner. My journey to mental healthcare Being of service to others was consistently modeled throughout my childhood and is something I chose to embody. I find great fulfillment in serving others. Before becoming a licensed therapist, I worked as a foster family agency social worker and, during college, in residential treatment settings. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology, Marriage, and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University, which further shaped my commitment to this work.
