Getting to know Heather Williams

Hello! My name is Heather Williams. I'm a Clinical Social Worker with over thirty years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate difficult situations. I earned my Master?s in Social Work from California State University, Sacramento. My approach is solution-focused, and clients often feel better after the first session. My approach I often give simple behavioral homework based on our discussions, so you can experiment with changes that will help you move forward. My focus is on your strengths and on finding solutions to your problems, rather than dwelling on the past. As a cognitive-behavioral therapist, I also help you understand the connection between your feelings and thoughts. You will learn important techniques for calming yourself so you can problem-solve more clearly. My focus After working with hundreds of clients, it?s clear to me that all of us deal daily with anxiety. There is so much to cope with in life! This can sometimes spill into depression. I can help! My communication style Clients have told me I am warm, engaging, and non-judgmental?easy to open up to. My journey to mental healthcare I?ve always had the ability to recognize and empathize with suffering. This compassion led me to understand how individuals process experiences and what improves that process. My own therapy has been extraordinarily helpful. Early in my career, I became curious about the body/mind connection and learned many useful techniques for calming the mind. I find great joy in helping people feel better! My goals for you In the first session, I will help you articulate what you want to achieve through therapy. These goals will guide our work together. Through behavioral practice, you will begin to realize that you are actually achieving what you hoped for. My first session with you Clients almost always feel hopeful after an initial session with me. I make sure you feel heard and understand how we will move forward together.
