Whether you're seeking personal growth or enduring extensive distress, it can be essential to have a helpful guide along the way. If you're wondering if change or healing is really possible for you, clearing space & time to address your concern about a given issue is key. I'm a Clinical Psychologist & an adult generalist, having worked with many forms of psychological suffering & difficulties in living. With that said, I'm most skilled in working with complex human experiences that arise in the course of life such as Depression, Anxiety, Relational Issues & Personal Growth. We'll work collaboratively towards your self-defined goals.

I believe the challenges we face in life can become catalysts for change and opportunities for growth. Struggling through problems alone is painful and can leave you feeling stuck in old patterns and beliefs. Therapy offers a safe space for healing through the power of human connection and the feeling of being understood.

The purpose of therapy from my perspective is working to gain understanding about yourself and the underlying rationale for what makes you you so that you can take steps to be the best version of yourself. I tailor my approach to each individual's unique needs and work with them to actively restructure the patterns of thought and behavior that are keeping them stuck and unhappy, allowing them to move through life with a greater sense of freedom, clarity, confidence and purpose. My ultimate goal is to empower individuals to live fuller, more satisfying lives.

Marriage and Family Therapy is a second career for me and one that I was drawn to by a deeply held conviction that people are capable of change. My passion for therapy is founded on the belief that we do not have to be bound by our wounds or fears. While these are important parts of our journey, they do not have to define who we are nor who we can become.

Journeys Counseling provides professional psychotherapy, vibrant living coaching, and spiritual direction to the community. Our work is interdenominational, serving clients from many different backgrounds, including those who have little or no religious affiliation. As a Christian organization we believe counseling should address the whole person and be respectful of people’s faith. Individual’s beliefs are both an important part of their lives and a valuable resource when experiencing distress. Counseling should assist in developing those resources further. Often, people lack support systems that help deal with personal problems.

"Well, it's always something!" How often have we all heard and said this phrase. Yet it's true. Life is always presenting us with"somethings" - loss, problems, distress, despair - obstacles to our happiness and well-being, and to our relationships. It is a very wise decision to reach out for help. Yet I know it is also stressful to try to decide on a therapist. Let me share with you who I am and my approach as a therapist. I unfailingly believe it is possible for people to make positive changes in their lives and to heal past and present trauma and pain.

Hello, my name is Tina Williams and I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist, based in Southern California and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with families, couples, children, and individuals, to strengthen their relationships hoping to help them find a healthy perception of themselves, to be peaceful, whole, complete, and safe. I'm most comfortable working with clients that are struggling with depression, anxiety, low-self esteem, and intrusive thoughts. I value cognitive behavioral therapy and person-centered therapy, though there is no single approach that is the right one for every individual.
