About

Hi there, I'm Mya! Greetings, my name is Mya Williams. I am a licensed clinical social worker operating in California since January 2023. I have been a clinician since 2011, with over 12 years of experience in the field. I utilize several different approaches in the pursuit of mental health, including but not limited to cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and strength-based perspective, to help understand how emotions affect behaviors—my License #: 113156 (CA). My approach My primary concern is the clients themselves, and as such, it is the client who guides the sessions. Ultimately, my role is to support their efforts through educating how their thoughts and feelings linked to behaviors and to elicit change talk. My focus My primary focus and experience are working with clients who suffer from hardship, loss, mood disorders, depression, low self-esteem, and past traumatic experiences. My communication style I believe firmly in written communication as a means of healing and self-perception. In session, I may ask for your participation in either writing thoughts and feelings down or engaging in conversation while I write things down. Dialogue is expected and encouraged. Although services will be rendered via telehealth, my goal is to make the session feel as close to the in-office, interpersonal interaction as possible. My journey to therapy I began my journey as a social worker and clinician in 2011. Since then, I have had the pleasure of working with men and women of all ages. I acknowledge the importance of and value greatly the necessity of being a vessel of support when needed. I have a passion to educate and to learn from others, which has granted me a strong empathy for the needs of my clients. My primary goal is to foster a positive environment where one can feel supported and recognized. This kind of work can be bumpy, and we may not always find the perfect solution on the first go, but together, we can figure things out.
