Lawaina Williams

I am from Alabama, so that means I have southern charm. I graduated from Mercer with my master's in Family Therapy. I have been in the mental health field for 10 years; I work primarily with adults. I work with individuals and couples. I've helped clients with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence issues. I've also helped them deal with life changes and given them executive and professional coaching. I've also worked with people who have compassion fatigue.

In therapy with me, it's all about being direct, honest, and compassionate. Building a solid connection is vital; I want to understand you and your story. I'm here to be your support system and build on your strengths.

During our sessions, I will often use a combination of techniques. Depending on my client's needs, I may use Trauma-Informed CBT, regular CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, DBT techniques, and others.

In our first session, there will be introductions, and you will be allowed to ask questions. I will gather information about your family history, treatment goals, and why you have decided to start therapy. You can expect to receive resources and guidance to enhance your life as we progress. We may have tough conversations, but you will leave knowing that you have a therapist who truly cares and desires for you to see the change you want.
