Lori Williams
Well hello! My name is Lori. Are you feeling the need to live your life differently? Are the things you've tried in the past no longer beneficial or adequate for this stage in your life?
I utilize Internal Family Systems, Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to assist my clients with working through various mental health issues.
I encourage my clients to do the things that they've never done in order to experience the life they've always wanted. I help them identify the source of what has limited them and caused them emotional pain, whether it be from anxiety or depression stemming from childhood trauma, broken relationships, toxic work environment, sexuality, aging, or religious trauma to name a few. I enjoy working alongside my clients and being a part of their "aha!!" moments on their life's journey. I utilize my belief in the interconnectedness of humanity with nature to assist my clients in understanding life, growth, change, grace and what constitutes true success.
First session
In our first session you can expect to hear from me regarding my treatment approaches as well as my years in my profession as a therapist. It is my hope that afterwards you will feel safe and assured that I am able to help you with what has brought you to therapy. You can expect me to listen to what has brought you to therapy and leave with some idea as to how together we plan to work through your particular life's challenge.
Strengths
I've seen the most success, as a therapist, with clients that are committed to self growth and are ready to do the work to achieve their goals. I believe my clients already have what they need within to be successful. It's my job and honor to help them unveil their "hidden" potential in ways that are nurturing, non-judgmental and compassionate.
Ideal clients
I have had especially good outcomes with clients who are willing to do the work needed in order to achieve the changes that they want to see in their lives. Clients that are concerned about the impact of intergenerational trauma and the influence of family trauma on their present lives have learned a lot in our sessions. They have been able to identify and make changes necessary in their thinking which have changed their outlook on life and have helped them to reach their personal goals.
Treatment methods

I utilize CBT skills to assist clients with processing and analyzing their thoughts and educate them on how their thoughts directly impact their behaviors.
