  • Charles L Williams

    Christian Therapist, M.A., LMFTA, MHP

    I have a passion for helping people. The fact you are seeking help shows you have strength. Whatever your struggles, my goal is to help you find those strengths and together we'll find new life norms.

    I specialize in couples in crisis and healing after divorce. My experience covers adjustments, depression, anxiety, life transitions, marriage, abuse, behavioral issues and older adolescent therapy.

    Techniques and therapeudic treatments I use include Cognitive Behavioral, Emotional Focus, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Therapies. As a pastor, I can intertwine spiritual belief systems into our sessions. I believe healing is accomplished when you find life to be comforable. As a therapist, I'm skilled in helping you identify resources to improve life's experiences. We will accomplish your goals together.
