Viola Williams, LCSW
About me
As a licensed therapist serving New York, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on empowering Black women and Christian clients through compassionate, culturally-responsive counseling. I have expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and family dynamics, with a deep commitment to helping clients rebuild self-esteem and find meaningful connection.
My therapeutic approach focuses on holistic healing, addressing issues like isolation, life purpose, workplace stress, and personal growth. I understand the unique pressures facing women of color and provide a supportive space to explore challenging emotions, develop communication skills, and cultivate self-love. Whether you're experiencing panic attacks, processing trauma, or seeking guidance through life transitions, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with understanding and genuine care.

Viola is so sweet and does an amazing job at connecting with her patients. She’s funny and can always make light of the situation. She responds when she’s available and pays attention. So recommend!
