Janika Williams

I’m a licensed professional counselor who supports both adults and youth through anxiety, trauma, and the emotional weight of keeping life together. With adults, I focus on high functioning anxiety, overwhelm, and the impact of past experiences on present patterns. My approach is warm, steady, and grounded in helping you understand yourself and build tools that bring real relief.

I also work with children and teens managing emotional regulation, school stress, and major transitions. My background as a former educator and school counselor helps me understand their world and collaborate well with families.

Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or your child, I focus on clarity, connection, and creating space for meaningful change.

I take a whole person, person centered approach to therapy: one that values authenticity, curiosity, and collaboration. I see therapy as a space to help you reconnect with yourself, uncover patterns that no longer serve you, and build practical tools for growth and healing. My work draws from evidence based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment based work, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to support clients in processing past experiences and reducing emotional distress. Together, we’ll explore your experiences at your pace, honoring your story and your strengths.

Our first session is a time to slow down and get to know each other. I’ll invite you to share what brought you to therapy, and we’ll talk about your goals, needs, and what feels most important to you right now. I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is to listen, support, and guide as we build a genuine connection. Establishing trust and rapport is central to my process, because I believe the therapeutic relationship is the foundation for meaningful change.
