Hi, it's nice to meet you!

I'm Amy Williams, and I'm glad you're here.

What is a fun fact about myself?

I love almost every kind of music and can usually be found driving with the windows down and the volume up higher than my kids would like.

What can you expect as my client?

You can expect me to be consistent, easy to talk to, and hard to shock. The relationship between us matters more than anything else in therapy, so early on we’re mostly getting to know each other and figuring out what you need. You can tell me the things you’ve never said out loud and I’m not going to look at you differently. Once that’s in place we get practical, working on whatever is hardest right now, building skills to help you achieve goals that we work together to identify.

Who am I outside of therapy?

Outside of therapy I’m a single mom to two kids who are my whole world. We spend weekends hiking, driving to a new city just to look around, or at the beach, and a decent amount of time at the kitchen table playing the Pokémon card game, which I take more seriously than I probably should. When I’m not with them, I’m usually putting miles on my running shoes.

Pronouns: She/Her

How did I become a therapist?

The road here was a long one. I always wanted to do work that helped people, but life kept getting in the way. When the pandemic shut everything down, I went back to school and finally did it. I don’t think the detour was wasted. A lot of what I bring to this work came from the years before it.

I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Kentucky in 2025 and my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Washington State University in 2022. I work primarily with DBT, ACT, and existential therapy, and I use whichever fits the person in front of me rather than asking you to fit into a box.

I work with LGBTQIA+ teens and adults navigating trauma and its long tail: PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety, BPD, and dissociative disorders including DID. Some people come to me after years of therapy and some have never talked to anyone about any of it, and both are fine places to start. I also work with couples, which is also really rewarding work. Most of what comes up there is communication and the patterns two people fall into without meaning to, and those are things that can genuinely change.

My ideal client is someone living with the effects of trauma who is looking for a way through it. That might mean feelings that seem too intense to bring anywhere, or something that happened a long time ago and still shapes everything. Whatever the size of it, there’s room for it here, and you don’t have to sort it out before you arrive. With couples, my ideal is two people who are tired of having the same fight and willing to look at what keeps starting it.
