Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Shannel Williams, NP — a dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience supporting individuals on their mental health journeys. As a proud Caribbean-born provider, I bring a culturally sensitive and compassionate approach to care. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Pace University in Pleasantville, NY, and have worked in a variety of settings, from community clinics to private practice. I specialize in treating ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and adjustment disorders. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to heal, grow, and thrive.

My approach to therapy

My approach to care is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and evidence-based practice. I strive to meet each client where they are, creating a supportive and nonjudgmental space where they feel safe to share and grow. I specialize in treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and adjustment-related challenges. I take time to understand each individual’s unique experiences and work alongside them to develop personalized treatment plans that may include medication management, supportive therapy, and lifestyle guidance. My clients often describe me as empathetic, approachable, and genuinely invested in their well-being.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, clients can expect a welcoming, judgment-free space where they can feel comfortable sharing their story at their own pace. We'll talk through your current concerns, mental health history, and any goals you’d like to work toward. My goal is to get a full picture of your emotional and psychological well-being so we can begin creating a personalized care plan together. Whether you're seeking clarity, support, or guidance, I’m here to listen, provide insight, and help you feel supported every step of the way.
