““We all have challenges. We all have opportunities to make things better.” ”
MarQueda Williams is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) - she works with individuals, couples, and families on a wide range of issues.
I think effective therapy begins with empathy and authenticity.
Empathy means I’m going to really hear you. I create a welcoming and safe place where you can share and unload your heavy emotional burdens - where you can be honest about your struggles and your hopes - where we can talk honestly and frankly about meaningful solutions.
I’m a relational therapist, so we’ll talk about the important relationships in your life - the people who make life challenging - and the folks who you turn to for support and rebuilding. We’ll talk about healthy communication and bringing your authentic self to your relationships.
Authenticity is that second pillar - and I’m going to be my true self with you. I’m passionate about helping people utilize their strengths to make lasting improvements. I’m passionate about cultural competency - about considering each of my client’s unique background and worldview.
I’m going to ask you to be your authentic self with me.
