Therapists in Florida

Everyone has the ability to have joy and happiness, we just need to learn how! I help my clients by taking a positive approach to their lives. I understand the stressors and depression that daily life and trauma has on each individual, as well as their family. It is my goal to find a way out out of this circle and create a meaningful life. I have been working with people while utilizing a positive approach for the past 15 years in order to bring meaning to each person as well as peace within a family. I specialize in working with individuals and families to create positive relationships. In addition, I have been working with veterans and their families for the past 5 yrs in dealing with unique challenges of deployment, reunion and PTSD's role in changing family dynamics. I hope to help each individual find their unique way of creating the life that they envision!

My name is Carol Williams, and I am a therapist who is experienced in creatively integrating research, knowledge, observation, and lived experience to produce wisdom that understands what is not said when trying to express the inexpressible. I specialize in working with ways to understand, heal and release the parts of trauma, grief, anxiety, and PTSD that are harmful, while at the same time valuing the parts that provided insight and wisdom that is gained through struggle. I utilize various techniques, all of which are anchored in quieting the noise in our mind so we can hear that inner voice that acts as our compass. I do encourage holistic techniques that factor in breathing, health, and meditation. Therapy is one way to turn down the noise and listen to our inner voice. I have worked with people from diverse walks of life throughout my career, each with an individuated narrative that also has shared themes of human struggle. Insight is powerful, but we all have blind spots due to having our own biases with ourselves. Having clarity also depends on myriad but informed perspectives that can help remove blockages that impede clarity which, in turn, generates better decisions. Better decisions equal healthier effects in life. I learn so much from the people I work with, as I believe in the collaborative approach that reveals answers that have been there but are weighed down by stress, pain, and fear. If answers can’t be reached, then excellent questions that deepen the quality of our pursuits are just as important. Choosing the right therapist is a vital decision that influences the direction of that growth.
