Melissa Williams, LPC
About me
I am a licensed therapist in Louisiana with 18 years of professional experience, specializing in helping clients navigate trauma and abuse. I graduated from Nicholls State University with a Master’s degree in Psychological Counseling, which laid the foundation for my comprehensive understanding of mental health and therapeutic practices.
Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, providing them with the support and tools needed to heal and reclaim their lives. My extensive experience has equipped me with a deep empathy and a nuanced approach to addressing the complex needs of trauma survivors.
I believe that you are the expert of your own story and possess numerous strengths that will aid you in overcoming your challenges. My approach to therapy is client-centered and trauma-focused, ensuring that your unique experiences and needs guide our work together. I emphasize a holistic perspective, recognizing the importance of addressing not just the psychological aspects of trauma but also the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions to support your overall well-being.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy requires courage, and I am proud of you for making this important decision. It is an honor to be part of your journey toward healing and personal growth, and I am committed to providing a safe, supportive, and empowering environment for you to explore and overcome your challenges.
I look forward to working with you!
