Getting to know Wanda McWilliams

Hi there, I'm Wanda! I am a fully licensed clinical social worker with a Master's in Social Work from Cleveland State University. I am trained in Trauma Therapy, EMDR, and CBT, along with many other modalities. I believe in a faith-based approach to therapy and in assessing my clients' goals, strengths, and areas they want to work on to achieve success in therapy. I use a person-centered approach, which means I acknowledge the individual and ensure their independence and sense of self-worth are honored at all times. My approach I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, strength-based therapy, and faith in my sessions. I may also assign narrative assignments to help enhance the tools and concepts taught. I encourage clients to identify ways they can correct thoughts and behaviors that are problematic. My focus I typically work with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I work with adult individuals, couples, and married clients. I also serve those struggling with major life transitions such as workplace issues, divorce, separation, or relocating. My communication style I strive to create a calm, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings. Many clients have told me they've shared things with me they've never shared with anyone before. I've been told I am easy to talk to and provide valuable tools for those going through difficult times. I feel I am relatable and may use personal disclosure to connect and relate with my clients. My journey to mental healthcare I previously worked as a teacher's assistant for a school district in Cleveland, Ohio. I was drawn to serving children due to some childhood issues of my own. While working at the detention center through the school district, I returned to school to become a fully licensed social worker. I have a history of childhood molestation, bullying, and being in an abusive marriage.
