I also have a strong background working with clients with substance use disorders and/or their caregivers/families as well as working with the elderly dealing with change of life issues, health issues, death, dying and grief and caregivers of the elderly.

Dr Williams is phenomenal. I was reluctant going into therapy and had a lot of apprehension. Working with Dr. Williams has been such a blessing. I knew I had things to work-out, but had no idea how much I would benefit from better help. That credit goes exclusively to Dr Williams!

Great listener. Remembers what I’ve told her. Has great suggestions and sends articles and goals for me to work on!

Deanna really listened to me initially and helped me prioritize what my biggest issues I wanted to work on and is very responsive- She sends me articles and worksheets that help me understand and gives me tools to make changes I need to make. I am already seeing a reduction in my stress and anxiety and feel more optimistic about next steps.

Deanna is a very good listener and is non-judgmental. She asks questions that will help get to the root of an issue while also providing ways we can cope with how we are feeling.
