About me

Hello. My name is Erika Williams. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana with over 10 years’ experience working in various setting with diverse populations.

My approach is to form a therapeutic alliance with the client. Such a relationship is essential, as it is oftentimes the first setting in which the person shares intimate thoughts, beliefs, and emotions regarding the issues in question. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, low self-esteem and trauma.

My counseling style encourages curiosity, creativity, and humility. I believe in promoting a safe environment that promotes empathy and nonjudgment. Honesty is also important as it is the foundation for healing and personal growth. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and client-centered therapy. It is my desire to help you reach you full potential as a human being and to assist others in finding the beauty within.
Courage is a virtue when we choose to do good, especially when that is most difficult. Courage is moral strength in the face of danger. Courage gives you the ability to put aside fear of failure and take the first steps. Demonstrating courage is reaching out for help!

I look forward to working with you!

It’s my first time trying therapy and I strongly recommend Erika. She is so understanding, she has helped me through problems that I had no idea how to face. She is very excellent at her counseling methods

Erika has been an amazing therapist for me. I went into this scared to share my heart and real feelings with someone but she made me very comfortable and I have been able to work out some real traumas in my life.

Right from our initial interaction, Erika was listening. She helped guide me as I spoke through things and had those 'a ha' moments in my head as I spoke. I highly recommend and look forward to continuing working with her.
