Lisa Williams, LCSW

Clinical bio

In my work, my overall hope is to assist others to attain an inner peace and security in who they are as a person in all environments. In doing this, I believe each person is fully capable of making productive and responsible changes in their lives when they choose to do so. I hope that time for you is now. Because of my recognition that no two clients are alike, I strive to engage each individual in a manner that is unique to the client’s needs and strengths, thus creating a customized and comprehensive approach to each individuals needs. Lisa’s clinical work and training is on complex trauma and dissociative features, panic and anxiety issues, and couples counseling. She is Certified in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), a modality that effectively treats trauma and other emotional health issues, and primarily uses this modality in addition to Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy. She also enjoys providing support and counseling to couples using the Gottman Method as well as Emotionally Focused therapies. Lisa Williams earned a Masters of Social Work Degree in 2005 from the University of South Florida and has 18 years of clinical care experience. She has worked in multiple outpatient settings including providing clinical oversight for an intensive Day Treatment setting for children addressing developmental and mental health concerns, as an outpatient therapist for foster and adoptive children and their families, and has been in the private practice world focusing on adult mental health for over 15 years.
