Cynthia Williams, LPC

I believe in working to develop a therapeutic relationship where the client feels safe, supported, and connected. I believe that this is a collaborative process, and I hope to be an assistant in your recovery. I fully understand that trust is important to work through what you need for wellness, and it can take time.

I have a broad range of experience working with all ages in varying capacities. I’ve worked in adult and child welfare, with developmentally disabled and mentally challenged individuals, and with homeless shelters. Before moving to private practice, I worked in community mental health in Wayne County, Macomb County, and in Emmet County in northern Michigan.

While I draw from other approaches, the primary models I use are CBT, CPT for PTSD, and DBT. I have over 28 years of experience working with adults. I utilize evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Rational Emotive Therapy (RET), trauma-focused therapy, and grief therapy to support clients navigating life transitions, depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and grief. Evidence-based techniques (like CBT or mindfulness) foster resilience.

I have a passion for helping clients "get unstuck." I specialize in guiding clients through burnout, anxiety, and the quiet pressure to "have it all together." My approach is rooted in the belief that everyone has innate resilience, but sometimes we need a therapist to help unearth it.

My goal is to empower clients by helping them clearly define their goals and objectives while guiding them on a transformative journey toward personal growth and fulfillment. Together, we explore coping strategies that focus on changing unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors, fostering meaningful progress, and helping clients unlock their full potential.
