Getting to know Stephanie Williams

As a MHC-LP, I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges while fostering resilience, personal growth, and emotional well-being. Born and raised in the Bronx, I understand the unique strengths, stressors, and cultural experiences that shape the lives of many individuals. Prior to entering the mental health field, I spent five years working as a Guidance Counselor, where I supported students and families through academic, social, and emotional challenges. That experience strengthened my commitment to empowering others and reinforced my belief that everyone deserves a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space to heal and grow.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients develop practical coping skills, improve emotional regulation, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and build upon their existing strengths. I believe therapy should be tailored to each individual’s unique needs, goals, and life experiences. Whether you are coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, or simply seeking personal growth, I am committed to walking alongside you on your journey toward healing, self-discovery, and lasting positive change.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In the first session I will complete an intake assessment to gather as much information to better assess and get to know you, your history, and what concerns have brought you to therapy and therefore set up goals. The following sessions, we will engage in talk therapy while pulling from various modalities to help you achieve your goals. Our sessions are 45 min in length on a weekly basis. Please allow 15 minutes before the session to do the intake paperwork. I PROVIDE PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICES ONLY; PLEASE NOTE I DON’T PROVIDE MEDICATION MANAGEMENT SERVICES.
