Freddie Williams

I am a grateful overcomer of alcohol and drug addiction with 23 years of continuous sobriety. I started my career as a substance abuse counselor. I returned to school to obtain a Bachelor's and Master's degree, enabling me to help others on a deeper therapeutic level. Because someone reached out to help me recreate my life, I have a passion for working with individuals in crisis with an emphasis on addressing co-occurring substance abuse and mental health challenges, from which I have suffered too. My passion, compassion, and motivation for helping people improve their quality of life are ingrained inside my soul and spirit from my life experience and my recovered life. I specialize in addiction, including alcohol, drug, porn, and gambling disorders. I teach anger management, coping skills, parenting, and relapse prevention.

My therapeutic treatment approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).

I create my sessions from a client-centered approach, supporting and partnering with my client in an environment of acceptance, understanding, and unconditional positive regard for my client's well-being, which freely allows them to feel safe and verbalize their thoughts, behaviors, and motivations for change.
