Williamsville, New York was named after Jonas Williams, an early settler. A nearby waterfall provided water power and several mills sprang up to take advantage of it. These days, Williamsville pays homage to its history with the Old Home Days celebration on Main Street. The festival continues in honor of several mid 19th century women who met in the park to drink tea and catch up. You may not always have friends around to help you think things through when you’re feeling down.

You don’t have to keep feeling like you’re running on no power. Treatment specialists are eager to match up with you in the Williamsville areas so that you can work through things and not be alone.
