Biography: Hello my name is Jahmela Williams, LCPC, I am intentional about serving the needs of people/persons of color and intersectionality communities. I commend you for taking the first step to experiencing a transformational life. With over 15 years of experience in providing education and counseling services, my focus is on helping individuals successfully navigate through barriers that limit holistic well-being. One of the reasons for my success is the gift for forming positive, lasting connections with individuals. In all my years of service, I have never grown tired of empowering individuals to better know self, value, and live purpose. My counseling techniques are a strength-based approach infused with Cognitive Behavioral, Emotionally Focused, and Mindfulness theoretical frameworks. I believe life experiences carry emotional memories that influence thoughts about ourselves, our value, and our purpose, which in turn effect the choices and actions we take in life. I do not consider myself the expert but a facilitator that helps guide you along this process of discovery and awareness. I approach mental health from a holistic healing perspective. This perspective is woven into the very fabric of my being as a black woman. As a woman of color, I am intentional about providing a safe space for my extended community to learn tools in practicing radical self-care as a form of resistance and self-preservation. As a body of color, I am very much aware of how it feels to live in a society where I must demand "the right to matter". Because of this, the mindset that I bring to therapeutic healing is one of radical acceptance, kindness, and non-judgment for my community and its intersectionality. It is my hope to be a therapeutic space to work on body, mind, and spirit healing, have your voice heard, and permission to breathe and "be". It would be a privilege to accompany you on your wellness journey. I am committed to helping you realize your value and purpose and reach your healing goals.
