Hello!!! My name is Debbie Williams. I want to share a little personal information about myself and my beliefs about mental health. I believe that taking care of one's mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health. Society places a negative stigma on mental well-being. But it is vital that we make ourselves aware of the monumental importance it plays. Mental health should be seen as a daily exercise of reflection and action. Reflection on what is and what needs to be, while empowering yourself with the self-care tools necessary to take action. My goal is to equip you with the tools to live a healthier, more balanced life and incorporate self-care in your daily routine.

 

I would love to partner with you as you move toward the direction of mental wellness. I feel that life creates struggles for us all. You could have been through a horrible divorce, experienced a recent loss of a loved one, or even just have a mental struggle to get out of bed each day due to depression. Daily challenges are experienced by all but the question is how do you choose to overcome your battles and start the healing process? 

 

Your first step to obtain counseling is the first step of you taking control back of your life. The second step toward the goal of healing will be your commitment to participating in counseling sessions. I believe that our partnership of working together will empower you to regain the strength needed to foster your growth and face the challenges that may present themselves in your daily life. 

 

For the last 20 years I have worked as a social worker for the VA Medical Center. Prior to working for the VA Medical Center, I have had the opportunity of working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples. During my tenure, I have gained experience in Psychotherapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, Grief/Bereavement Counseling, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It would be a pleasure to guide you as you as we work toward meeting your therapeutic goals. During our partnership, we will collaborate to identify and build coping skills and the confidence that you currently possess. 

The goal is to have you walk away with a newfound ability to utilize your strengths and the confidence to navigate through the everyday trials and stressors of life.
