Getting to know Lakira Williams

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you with the tools you need to attain your goals and reach your full potential! My approach I have had the privilege of providing counseling to individuals and families for over 15 years. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I am well-versed in cultural diversity and the impact it could possibly have on treatment. My approach is interdisciplinary, and I tailor dialogue and treatment to meet the individual’s unique and specific needs. My focus I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including, but not limited to, trauma, abuse, depression, anxiety, self-harm, ADHD, LGBTQIA+, life transitions, workplace concerns, familial relationship concerns, and self-esteem issues. My communication style I foster an environment where clients feel safe to be vulnerable and imperfect. My communication style is warm and interactive. My journey to mental healthcare I was drawn to the field of psychotherapy due to my early desire to understand people, decisions, and relationships. From a very young age, I could listen, understand, and set goals. Coming from a family of color and witnessing the impact of trauma and general life challenges, my heart was set on assisting others with resources and finding ways to break barriers and the stigma in mental health. I started my career providing counseling to youth in foster care and birth parents working toward reunification with their children. I developed a passion for advocating, supporting, and assisting people in attaining their goals. I have held supervisor and director positions in the field of child welfare, where I provided counseling to individuals, families, young mothers, LGBTQIA+ youth, and people struggling with addiction.
