Hello, my name is Sara Williams In 2011 I moved to Virginia and continued working as a behavior therapist with Universal Health Systems (UHS In 2012 I earned my Masters degree in social work and started my supervision to become Licensed. In 2015 I earned my License in Clinical Social Work and was asked to start as the clinical director for all mental health community based services in Virginia for UHS. There I added 3 more programs, outpatient therapy, crisis intervention and crisis stabilization. In 2017 I was recruited by another facility in UHS. Newport News Behavioral Health, a residential for youth with mental health disorders. In 2018 I was selected for the COO program and became the COO of Newport News Behavioral Health. In 2019 I started working with substance abuse and addiction until I started in outpatient counseling. I am passionate about helping people that struggle with mental health challenges and have made it my life’s work to educate and empower people to meet their life goals.
