Hi, I’m Emma Williams, a licensed clinical professional counselor. My love and passion for supporting others led me to a career in clinical mental health counseling. Counseling can be a difficult yet extremely rewarding journey. I hope to be there and walk with you as you make beautiful changes in your life. I have a deep-rooted belief that people are stronger and braver than they give themselves credit for. I hope to help you see and achieve your full potential by supporting you and your loved ones as you work to improve your lives.

I strive to be an understanding and nonjudgmental counselor. I work with adolescents and adults. I work with all gender and sexual identities as well as people of all races and religious affiliations. I do my best to create a safe space for clients to be able to share openly and feel accepted for who they are. A good connection and positive counseling relationship are vital for counseling to be beneficial. I will work hard to build a strong, trusting relationship with you, and I’ll approach you as the unique individual you are. Everyone deserves to be seen and understood for who they are. Similarly, I’ll use the counseling approach that will work best for you. I am ultimately an eclectic counselor and I’ll do my best to use the approach that matches your needs

Emma works with teens and adults. She has experience working with depression, anxiety, OCD, stress, life transitions, adolescent behavioral issues and more. She provides LGBTQ+-affirming care and welcomes clients of all identities and backgrounds.
