Hi, I'm Williette, but you can call me Willie for short. I have experience working with clients dealing with issues such as Substance use, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar disorder, Personality disorders, Trauma including sexual, emotional and physical abuse, and ADHD. I've been in the mental health field for 6 years, however I've been a Social worker for over 15 years. I love working with people to help them become thier better selves.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I create a safe space for my clients to be themselves without any judgments. I allow my clients to vent/release what's bothering them. I allow my clients to speak from thier hearts and mind. I make my clients feel comfortable and at ease. I bring a little humor to sort of break the ice. I always close with motivations and strength.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
My Counseling style is client centered with utilization of CBT, Strength-Based, Narrative Therapy, Problem Solving Model, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Task-Centered Practice.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am very big on strength-based and empowerment. I believe we all have the capabilities to overcome any obstacles in our lives. Sometimes it takes someone from the outside, such as professional, to point us in the right direction on how to tap into our strengths. It boosts thier self confidence and makes them feel more happier.
