Danielle Williams, LCSW
About me
Life is difficult. Life is hard. And life can be beautiful too. My name is Danielle and I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Pennsylvania with over eight years of experience working with individuals with both significant mental health needs as well as persons who desire help and support to assist with life crises and issues. I have had the privilege of assisting folks with persistent mental health and clinical diagnoses as well as persons who are experiencing life problems which effect their ability to feel fulfilled and happy.
My approach in sessions is to be the listener to your personal story, validate your life's journey and work with you in order to determine the next best steps to resolve your most presenting issues.
Therapy can be a healing process. Where else can you have the opportunity to converse and interact with a person in a safe space for the purposes of sharing what troubles you most?
Together we can find a way to make life more manageable and (hopefully) more beautiful too. The struggle is worth the journey.

Danielle has really made it a point to understand how I think and my perspective and also challenges me to look at things through another lens. She is so easy to talk to and so comforting.

Danielle is wonderful. She actively engages me in sessions, guides me through addressing whatever comes up, and completely validates my feelings while keeping sessions grounded in reality. I honestly find therapy with Danielle to be one of the best things I can do for self-care.
