Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Joelle Williams, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and the founder of Flamingo Fitness and Wellness. I earned my Master of Social Work and have experience supporting individuals and families across community mental health, child and family services, and perinatal care. I specialize in working with women experiencing perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (including postpartum depression and anxiety), infertility, pregnancy and infant loss, body image concerns, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based, and I am passionate about helping women develop the tools and confidence they need to improve their mental health and thrive.

My approach to therapy

I believe that therapy is most effective when it is collaborative and tailored to each person's unique needs and goals. Together, we'll identify what you hope to gain from therapy and develop a treatment plan that supports your growth and healing. I draw from evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), and other therapeutic modalities to best meet your individual needs. My goal is to provide a compassionate, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel empowered to navigate life's challenges, build resilience, and reconnect with your authentic self. I also have a special passion for supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, pregnancy and infant loss, and other life transitions, helping them feel seen, supported, and equipped with practical tools for lasting change.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we'll spend 60–90 minutes getting to know each other and exploring what brings you to therapy.I'll ask questions to better understand your background, current concerns, and the experiences that have shaped you. Together, we'll identify your goals and create a plan that aligns with your needs and values. Sessions are offered virtually, providing a convenient and supportive space to begin your therapeutic journey.
