Edward (Andy) Williams

While there are many reasons to seek therapy, often an underlying theme is that the strategies we have developed and relied on over time to deal with life's challenges are no longer working as effectively as might be needed. It is my belief, and has been my experience, that by understanding how we have adapted to the forces that shape our lives (both within and around us), and by changing the ways we relate to and experience these forces, we can create opportunities to strengthen valued skills or learn new ones, improve our ability to respond to and manage stress, and move with intention toward desired goals and outcomes. Relationally-oriented and experienced in diverse treatment approaches including psychodynamic and acceptance-based models, I have practiced at all levels of our mental health system, promoting emotional health and resiliency through a collaborative and integrative approach that values safety, connection, and client-driven feedback in the therapeutic process. My practice focuses on adolescents and adults who are seeking to collaborate on issues such as ADHD/executive functioning, self-harm, mood disorders/dysregulation, anxiety, and trauma. In considering therapy or a particular type of therapist, I would be honored to explore further whether my experience and clinical approach would be beneficial to you.
