I've expanded my practice over the years with continuing education so that I can be up-to-date on new ways to help people. My approach is person-centered.

Hello everyone, Cay Williams, LPC here! I currently reside in GA but I'm originally from North Philadelphia, Go Eagles! I have over 10 years of experience working in mental health in some capacity. I truly enjoy working with teens and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions that leave them feeling stuck or overwhelmed. I believe in creating a space where clients feel truly seen, heard, and understood—a place where emotions are valid, patterns are explored without judgment, and growth feels possible. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, helping clients build coping skills, strengthen self-awareness, and reconnect with their own resilience. Together, we work toward clarity, balance, and meaningful change, so that everyday life feels a little more manageable, connected, and fulfilling.

I’m a therapist with a social work background, and I work with young and middle-aged adults who are dealing with all kinds of stress in their lives. Over the past decade, I’ve worked with many LGBTQ+ and BIPOC individuals as they navigate the emotional ups and downs that can come with living in a changing social and political climate. Sometimes that stress shows up as anxiety, low mood, or intrusive thoughts that come and go. Other times, it can feel heavier or harder to manage on your own. I aim to create a space that feels warm, genuine, and welcoming—one where you can show up as you are and talk openly about what’s going on. Our work together is centered on what you need and what healing looks like for you. I’m thoughtful, curious, and supportive, and I also know when to be direct. My goal is to help you build tools to cope, make sense of your experiences, and move forward in a way that feels grounded and sustainable.
