“Gen is the most effective therapist I've ever worked with, and I've had my fair share of therapists. She is empathetic and understanding, but asks challenging questions that get to the root of thought patterns and behaviors and help change them. I feel simultaneously understood and healthily challenged in our sessions.”

Getting to know Gennifer Williams

You deserve to feel well and live your most authentic life. I provide tools to help you embrace a deeper understanding of yourself, strengthen your coping mechanisms, improve your mood, and thrive with increased daily functioning, self-efficacy, self-esteem, self-awareness, and authentic self-expression. When life feels overwhelming, our minds can convince us that we are alone in our daily challenges and during our most difficult times. We get used to handling it on our own. I believe there is a better way. Working with a psychotherapist who can deeply connect with where you are on your healing journey can be transformative. Transformation might look like addressing symptoms, resolving a problem, or seeking something more. By guiding you to deeper insights and clearer understandings, together, we are better able to confront the barriers that may be holding you back from the life you want to live. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Central Florida, which equips me with the knowledge and skills to support you effectively on your path to healing and growth.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Being here tells me you desire and are ready for change. We will work together to identify behaviors, thought patterns, and barriers that may be preventing you from reaching your goals. I will guide you through modalities that will help you let go of suffering, problematic behaviors, self-limiting beliefs, and symptoms (including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger/irritability, sleep problems, fatigue, trouble with attention/focus, and more).

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Gen is the most effective therapist I've ever worked with, and I've had my fair share of therapists. She is empathetic and understanding, but asks challenging questions that get to the root of thought patterns and behaviors and help change them. I feel simultaneously understood and healthily challenged in our sessions.
Gennifer reads between the lines and sees through my BS. This helps me understand what is happening in front of me and how to improve it.
Gen is a fantastic therapist! She is such a great listener and artfully engages in conversation that encourages me to gain insight and self-awareness. Gen is consistent, and I can always count on her to show up on time to our session. She provides a safe and non-judgmental environment that encourages me to be honest and vulnerable. Over the course of seeing her, I have observed meaningful differences in my life that have contributed to healthier relationships and an empowered view of self.
Felt connected immediately. Has a great personality, intelligent and open minded. She is always on time and I never feel rushed. Definitely recommend!
Great work!
Gennifer skillfully combines warmth and kindness with a respectful and challenging approach. She creates a safe and welcoming environment while also encouraging me to explore different perspectives by offering alternative viewpoints and actively seeking feedback on any thoughts or ideas that are expressed.
