Dr. Bettie Williams is a licensed psychologist (PsyD), professional counselor (LPC), certified clinical trauma professional (CCTP), and trained in EMDR therapy. What sets Dr. Williams apart  is that she will ask tough questions and won't let you sit on the proverbial couch while passively nodding her head! She will dig in and work with you to push through and make real progress to build and fortify your emotional toolbox!

Dr. Williams practices from a client-centered and holistic perspective, recognizing that trauma and grief can appear in many forms and impact individuals in deeply personal ways. This can include: past childhood trauma, divorce, pet loss, job loss, caregiver, relationship abuse, end of life, financial problems, death of a loved one, relationship loss, empty nest, etc. She believes that emotional symptoms can feel like chains – limiting and painful – but with support, can be broken, allowing space for healing, freedom, and joy.

With deep compassion and without judgment, Dr. Williams honors each person's unique story. She is committed to walking alongside clients at their own pace, serving as a supportive guide throughout the healing process.
