Christy Williams
Hi! I'm Christy Williams, and I've been a private practice psychotherapist for 20 years. I help adults navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the effects of living in survival mode. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can heal, grow and reconnect with your true self. I enjoy working with adults who feel stuck or disconnected from carrying the weight of past experiences. Many of my clients are high-functioning adults who appear successful on the outside but are internally struggling with stress, self-doubt, unresolved trauma, or difficulties in relationships. I also welcome clients who are interested in exploring personal growth, meaning, purpose, and individual spirituality as part of their healing journey. My approach is compassionate, collaborative and, at times, humorous. I integrate evidence-based therapies (EMDR, Brainspotting, EFT, CBT, Mindfulness, and parts work) while recognizing the important connection between mind, body and spirit. Together, we'll work to understand the root causes of your struggles and build practical coping skills that can lead to lasting change. Whether you're seeking relief from emotional pain, greater self-understanding, or a path toward a more fulfilling life, I would be honored to walk alongside you in the process.
First session
In our first session we'll gather the basics of why you're reaching out and what you're hoping to work through. Hopefully we'll have a few laughs, share expectations and discuss a general idea of a treatment outline. If we both believe we are a good match, we will schedule the next session.
Strengths
Clients often appreciate my down-to-earth style that comes from clinical expertise and my own uncomfortable, challenging human experiences. I strive to help clients feel truly seen and understood while also encouraging them to move forward with meaningful growth and healing. I am passionate about helping individuals move beyond survival mode and create lasting transformation. My approach is tailored to each client, blending clinical skill with authenticity, compassion, and a deep belief in every person's capacity to heal and grow.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is some who wants to move out of survival mode and transition into living a fuller , more present life. They are motivated to learn about the effects of their past traumas on their current behavior and willing to do the work to create the new life they crave. They are working their way through shedding shame, confusion, and other lower vibrational emotions. They are ready to build a new sense of self and success.
