Shakira Williams, LMHC

Psychotherapist
NY
Life can feel overwhelming when you’re juggling relationships, work, and personal growth. If you’re struggling with anger, stress, anxiety, or depression, you don’t have to face it alone. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore challenges, gain clarity, and develop healthy coping strategies. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I’ll help you manage overwhelming emotions, build resilience, and reconnect with a sense of balance and purpose. Together, we’ll work at your pace to create meaningful change and uncover hope for the future. If you’re ready to take the first step toward healing, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation—your journey starts here. My approach My approach to therapy is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to each person’s unique needs. I believe that lasting change happens when you feel truly heard, understood, and empowered to take steps at your own pace. In our work together, I create a safe and judgment-free space where you can openly explore your challenges, whether that’s managing stress, navigating relationships, coping with anxiety or depression, or learning to regulate strong emotions like anger and frustration. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps you identify patterns of thinking and behavior that may be keeping you stuck and replace them with healthier, more effective strategies. At the same time, I integrate mindfulness, stress-reduction techniques, and strengths-based approaches to support your overall growth. Therapy with me is active and practical—you’ll leave sessions with tools and strategies you can apply to everyday life—yet it’s also reflective, giving you the chance to deepen your self-awareness and connect with your values. I view therapy as a partnership
