Getting to know William Shryer

Hi there, I'm William! William Shryer, DCSW, LCSW. I use common sense and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am an expert in OCD, Autism Spectrum, Anxiety Disorders, and depression. I was the Clinical Director and owner of a multidisciplinary behavioral health center in Northern California for many years. If you are looking for experience and competency, get in touch for a brief consultation to examine your needs. My approach I am well trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy by the International OCD Foundation's BTTI (Behavioral Therapy Training Institute) in both adult and child therapy. I also use psychodynamic understanding and have additional training in the genetic underpinnings of many behavioral disorders. My focus I work with motivated clients who have often been misdiagnosed and misunderstood. I work with a wide age range, and the majority of my practice has been with OCD, anxiety, and depressive issues. As a veteran, I am also well versed in PTSD and its various presentations. My communication style I use a common sense problem-solving approach. First, I take a comprehensive history to really understand and develop a treatment plan that is individually tailored to the client's needs. I don't use a cookie-cutter approach. I create a friendly and hopefully warm environment to really work on getting things done. My journey to mental healthcare I began my training in the Navy as a Neuropsychiatric Technician working with both Neurology and Psychiatry, and it meshed with me. I went on to earn my Master's in Social Work at the University of California, Berkeley, followed by a one-year advanced training at the San Francisco Psychoanalytic Institute. I have never let up with ongoing training to expand my knowledge base! My goals for you Goals can only be developed after a thorough comprehensive history and an understanding of treatment direction is made. Once this is accomplished, then we proceed with defining the problem, and goals and objectives follow.
