What is therapy like? What does a typical session with you look like?

A typical session with me begins with where the client is at. I want to know why you wanted to come to therapy and what your goals are. I try to meet each client where they are in their journey. I also want to make sure we are touch on something positive that has happened or that is coming up during each session as well.

I have been a social worker for over 10 years and my passion is helping people accomplish their goals. I believe that having a strong support system, no matter how big or small, is a key step in achieving our goals. I want to be part of your support system. My passion is watching people grow and become the best versions of themselves.

Our first session together will start with gathering background information, learning about the specific challenges that brought you in, and creating the goals you want to work on. In our continued work together, I will assist you in developing the necessary skills to overcome your challenges, explore how these challenges shape your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and assist you in finding ways to take action toward a more peaceful life. Even if you don’t believe things can get better as you’re reading this, let’s get you your strength back!

Finding support can be daunting but I’m here to support you on your wellness journey. This is a space for you to come as you are and speak openly about challenges. No matter how you’re struggling, I believe in you! I am confident you will be able to grow, develop skills, and make positive changes. Reach out if you’re open to welcoming me to your team. I have been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, based in New York, for the past 5 years. I have experience with all ages from childhood through to adulthood. I look forward to assisting you find your strengths and overcoming your challenges.

Pulling from my education, and experience, I help people replace isolation and loneliness with connection and hope. There are two main methods I use to help clients, I teach them how to identify errors in their thinking through (CBT) and help them to recognize obstacles to progress through (ACT) so my clients can get back on track. We all need strategies to focus on what matters most to us. Through the therapeutic process, I help family members diffuse intense emotions with their loved ones using mindfulness exercises. With practical communication skills & a plan for next steps, families & couples experience hope, knowing that things can change for the better.

Having over 20 years of experience, I specialize in guiding and supporting individuals as they navigate complex relationship issues. Many are family members who have loved ones that struggle with addiction. I help people resolve unhealed emotions and break patterns they’ve been stuck in so they can grow in setting limits, building confidence, and feeling better.

In our sessions, you'll find a calm, supportive space where you can be exactly who you are—without pressure, judgment, or pretense. My approach is warm, collaborative, and centered around you. Whether we’re exploring emotions, building coping tools, unpacking past experiences, or clarifying your goals, our work together is paced with your comfort in mind. I blend evidence-based practices like [e.g., CBT, mindfulness, trauma-informed care] with a deeply human approach. That means we’ll focus not just on “what’s wrong,” but on what matters most to you—your values, strengths, and the life you want to build. Each session is a dialogue. I may gently challenge limiting beliefs or introduce strategies for self-care and emotional regulation, but always with respect for your voice and readiness. Some days will be heavy; others might bring lightness or insight. All of it is welcome. Therapy with me is less about fixing and more about becoming—more grounded, more free, more you.

Hi, I’m Sandra Williams—a licensed professional counselor committed to walking alongside individuals as they navigate life’s complexities. My approach is warm, grounded, and deeply person-centered. I believe that therapy is not about “fixing” anyone, but about helping you uncover the strength and wisdom you already carry within. With a focus on creating a safe, affirming space, I work with adults and adolescents dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and life transitions. Using evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and narrative therapy, I tailor each session to your unique needs and goals. Whether you’re facing something new or carrying something long-standing, you don’t have to go through it alone. Therapy with me is a place where you can exhale, explore, and grow. Let’s begin where you are—with openness, curiosity, and a shared commitment to your healing.

You can expect a safe space for you to vent and a trustworthy therapist who can support you in your journey of healing. You can expect to learn more about how your past continues to affect your present. You will gain insight on what needs to be done to move on and transform yourself to a better self. My clients often report a sense of relief in anger, guilt, sadness, grief, and tense muscles. Once this is done, you will be able to forgive and move on much easier

My specialty is AF EMDR (Attachment Focused Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) therapy and Super Resourcing. If you have traumatic experiences, painful childhood, low self-esteem, I may be the perfect match for you. These things haunted me for 35 years. CBT, DBT, and talk therapy gave me some relief, but it was AF EMDR that transformed me and gave me the healing I needed. Rest assured, I can walk the talk and guide you in your journey of self discovery and healing.

I set aside a weekly appointment that's reserved just for you. Each week we'll focus on the goals that were established during your initial session. Often, I'll check in with you at the beginning of your session to find out what you'd like to discuss. Or, I may pick up where we left off from our last session. I may reflect on what you shared, ask clarifying questions, or teach coping skills to assist you in growing and accomplishing your goals. Ultimately, this is your time, therefore it's important to me that we're focusing on what you'd like to work on. I value your input so we can make sure you're on the right track and making the most out of your time.

I work with adult survivors of early childhood trauma. I also work with people who suffer from generalized anxiety such as over-thinking and inability to control worry. Lastly I help people who are dealing with mild to moderate depression and have experienced grief and loss, low self-esteem, or lack of motivation.

A typical session with me is collaborative and client-centered, focused on meeting you exactly where you are in your unique journey. I believe that our life experiences shape who we are, and the therapeutic process should begin by honoring your personal narrative. During each session, I strive to ensure that you feel seen, heard, and supported, creating a non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions openly. Our work together involves identifying areas of concern and developing healthy coping strategies tailored to your individual needs. Through collaboration, we focus on navigating life's challenges, whether related to anxiety, depression, trauma, or stress. My goal is to empower you to develop the skills necessary for a more fulfilling and balanced life. In each session, we might engage in reflective conversations, practice mindfulness techniques, or explore new perspectives to help you manage emotions and find clarity.

We meet and discuss what you are struggling with.  There may be a worksheet here and there.  I let the client talk more.  I ask open ended questions throughout. 

I have been in the mental health field for over 15 years and my practice has been around for over 6 years.  I specialize in depression, anxiety, addiction, PTSD and anger management 

I typically ask what topics you may have in mind that you would like to discuss as an opener. I view therapy as a collaborative process so I want to give you the freedom to discuss whatever is on your mind. It’s completely natural to not always know where to start though, so in cases for that I will inquire about your chief concerns and how that has been impacting you so that we can discuss your treatment goals more in-depth. Some sessions may involve venting and processing emotions and experiences or practicing coping skills, while others may be about learning the connections between our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, relational patterns, and somatic symptoms.

Therapy sessions with me are collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your individual needs.

I use evidence-based approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), to guide our work together.
