Great to meet you!

Welcome! I am Alexa Williams from Essence of Balance Counseling. I have worked with clients from various diverse backgrounds and life circumstances in my career for the past 7 years. I primarily work with individuals and couples from the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of color) communities. Providing services for individual, pre-marital, and couples therapy. I am a LGBTQ+ affirming provider.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I work with clients presenting with struggles related to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, codependency, life transitions, and self-image/identity issues. I am an eclectic therapist. Integrating various therapy modalities, including Psychodynamic, Existential, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am certified in Prepare and Enrich Couples Counseling.

What you can expect from our first session

My goal is to be on this journey with you to address the challenges that keep you stagnant in life. Also, to assist you with self-awareness and sense of direction. I am unbiased, non-judgmental, and genuine in how I approach therapy with my clients. I am here to help you navigate life stressors and circumstances in the best way possible. You will go through the therapy process feeling rejuvenated and heard!
