About
Hello, my name is Crystal Williams, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Illinois. I have been a practicing clinician for 12 years and have worked in many capacities of my profession from community therapeutic setting to psychosocial groups to hospitals. I have had the privilege to work with a diverse population of clients and to execute individual, family, couples, and group counseling in my career. My clients ages ranged from neo-natal age to geriatric age group. I have also been able to work with clients from all different racial, ethnic, religious backgrounds. The clients I have had the fortunate to work with have come into services for varies reasons: Depression, Anxiety/ Panic Attacks, Stress management, Relationship issues, Parenting issues, Self- identity concerns, Moderate/Severe Mental health diagnosis with learning coping skills, LGBTQ, couples counseling, grief counseling etc… My goals for my clients are to stabilize and help clients make progress towards their goal(s) in treatment which then helps elevate their lives to be better. I pride myself as being a therapist who is open-minded and relatable with clients. I want clients to feel comfortable being expressive of their thoughts, feelings, ideas and most important to have a safe space to feel heard and understood. My goal to learn about my clients, build rapport, and help them to the best of my ability and expertise. My best treatment approaches are collage of multiple treatment modalities such as Cognitive behavior therapy/ psychodynamic therapy/solution focused/motivational interviewing, strength based, and client centered to name a few. I utilize couple base treatment approaches, as well family treatment approaches. Services and treatment plans are created to each individualized client. Taking the first step of recognizing that things in your life can be improved is a small victory already.
