Jennifer Williams LMHC

In an effort to give the best practice to my clients, I have training in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR), Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy and various types of therapies to assist clients. Practice makes perfect!!! As you learn new skills, you will role play, model, or rehearse those skills. This may even include writing letters, making positive affirmation lists, or talking to a.....chair (Gestalt Therapy).

A first session with me entails giving information about yourself. The more information you give me about what you want to achieve from therapy, the better I will be able to help you. We will go over a few rules about therapy and expectations. Then we will begin to work on any distressing issues that you have. Before the session is over, you may be given an assignment for reflection to share in your next session. You will also develop a plan to reach your goals which is called treatment planning. It is a guide to help you stay on task. Goals can always change whenever you wish. It is your therapy, and you are always in charge.
