Esther Williams

Hello! My name is Esther Williams and I am a licensed clinical social worker with a graduate degree from the University of Maryland / Baltimore. I have over 20 years experience in my field providing support to families in crisis and individuals in different transitions in life. The last 3 years I have enjoyed participating in the therapeutic sector. I have learned that the different transitions take individuals through moments of anxiety and depression. It is fulfilling to apply my knowledge learned over the years to assist others in their journey towards wellness. I find that I especially bond with women and the unique concerns that we have such as motherhood, body- hormonal changes, career concerns - navigating the work force. Being of African American decent I have insight regarding the challenges we have to function freely in this society. I desire to assist in the empowerment and wholeness.

My approach to therapy includes allowing the particular client to trust they can be open with me. I will hopefully be successful by having a non- judge-mental approach and participate in active listening. The sessions will hopefully develop into a steady plan of goal setting, but with the understanding that sometimes there may be setbacks. However, if this occurs , I as the clinician will still be there for the client in compassion and walk through the process in transparency .
