Getting to know Mya Williams
Hi there, I'm Mya!
Greetings, my name is Mya Williams. I am a licensed clinical social worker in California since January 2023. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Indiana University and have been a clinician since 2011, with over 12 years of experience. I utilize approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and a strength-based perspective to help understand how emotions affect behaviors—my License #: 113156 (CA).
My approach
My primary concern is the clients themselves; the client guides the sessions. My role is to support their efforts by educating them on how thoughts and feelings link to behaviors and to elicit change talk.
My focus
I primarily work with clients facing hardship, loss, mood disorders, depression, low self-esteem, and past trauma.
My communication style
I believe in written communication as a means of healing and self-perception. In sessions, I may ask you to write down thoughts and feelings or engage in conversation while I write. Dialogue is expected and encouraged. Though services are via telehealth, my goal is to make sessions feel as close to in-office, interpersonal interactions as possible.
My journey to therapy
I began as a social worker and clinician in 2011, working with men and women of all ages. I value being a vessel of support when needed. I have a passion to educate and learn from others, which has granted me strong empathy for clients’ needs. My goal is to foster a positive environment where one feels supported and recognized. This work can be bumpy, and we may not find perfect solutions immediately, but together, we can figure things out.
