June Santon
Hi, Welcome to my intro! My name is June. That you're reading this most likely means you feel your life could be better in some way, and you're looking for some help in making that happen. That takes some courage and initiative to take a positive step-- not just "settle."I'm a licensed professional counselor and a certified addiction counselor, based in Colorado. I also have experience and expertise working with issues of trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, important transitions in life, and relationship difficulties. Sometimes a person doesn't have a specific problem such as one of those, but just feels that life could be better in some way. She may be seeking better self-awareness. He may believe he has a purpose in life that he hasn't yet identified, and would like some help in getting insight into that. She may have come to believe "This job isn't right for me," but now would like some guidance in figuring out "So what is?" Also, this is a very different and troubling time for all of us. You may have lost your job due to a shutdown occurring out of your, or anyone else's, control. You, or someone you love, may have become seriously sick. You may feel anxious about what will happen --next week, or next month, or next year. I can help with all of that. If something from this profile sounds like what you'd like, I'd love to work with you.

I am looking forward to meeting you, and I celebrate your decision to seek help. It is a difficult thing to do, and you are already heroic and daring in your search.

Shirley Williams
I am a State of Colorado licensed Mental Health provider and have been for nearly 30 years. I grew up in Michigan and attended Wayne State University achieving a BA in Psychology and a MSW. Early on in my career, I enrolled in a 2-year Intensive Family Therapy program at what was then The Ann Arbor Center for the Family. It was at the exciting time when Family Systems Therapy had just revealed itself to the profession. I completed that program and many other advanced trainings throughout the years. Many of the clients I have served throughout the years have found me through my work in health care, hospice, schools, foster care and adoption, pregnancy services, serving the disabled and their caregivers including their animal caregivers. In the year 2000 I completed a 1000 hour Massage Therapy Program at The Boulder College of Massage Therapy. Soon after I became nationally certified in Massage & Bodywork Therapy and State of Colorado licensed. My dual careers have allowed me to practice from a Somatic perspective with a trauma-sensitive focus. Several years ago, as an EMDR therapist, I discovered The Flash Technique and have been finding my clients are responding well to this in trauma resolution therapy. Needless to say, I love learning and I’ve accumulated a variety of expressive art tools I sometimes use in my sessions. Clients often learn the therapeutic value of sound therapy, dance & movement therapy, clay therapy and I introduce them in my virtual sessions and in-person sessions. My greatest gift in all my life has been the ability to embrace my innate curiosity and express it to help others.
