Adults Therapists in Poway, CA
I approach therapy as a team effort. I believe in meeting my clients where they are at and go from there. Therapy is a place where you should feel safe and not judged in order to be able to share and process. This allows clients to grow and achieve their therapeutic goals.

Does your child say, “You don’t understand” or completely ignores your requests? Do you feel powerless and frustrated that consequences don’t seem to work anymore on your child? We help to empower your family with new ways of communicating and relating, so harmony is restored. Kids need to feel heard and that what they think matters. Children often feel like no adult is listening, at school or at home. We help to give both children and parents a voice, which often calms the chaos. Children and teenagers need help learning how to express their needs in a way that their parents can hear them.

Life’s journey includes many difficulties, including challenges for individuals, couples, and families. Therapy provides a confidential and safe space where feelings can be explored, new skills can be acquired, and healing can begin. Seeking guidance is an important first step. I have experience working with those involved in domestic violence, sexual abuse, and other trauma. Trauma often surfaces in ways as we do not always know how to articulate and process our emotions. I take a collaborative approach with my clients to reinforce safety, identify problem areas, set goals, and learn to identify and express their feelings.

True story: I’ve gotten my truck stuck in the same sandy desert spot on TWO different occasions - both times, thinking I knew what to do. Nope. Both times I needed help. Like with my truck, the help I have received in my life has helped me understand who I am and now it inspires me to support others in their journey. I have the privilege of supporting numerous couples, teens, and individuals, and I take an approach that is warm, constructive, and collaborative. Our time is spent understanding who you are, what is getting you stuck, and exploring what it may take to get you where you want to be.

My ideal client has an awareness of their presenting problem (unproductive thought pattern, emotions or behavior), and is ready to release it. The client realizes something is not working and ready to breakthrough their current situation. Many have often tried other traditional therapy or personal development and may even have hit a mental health crisis (anxiety, suicidal thoughts, depression, rage, etc.) Some clients simply want to level-up their mindset to further their personal, relational or career goals. Many choose to work with me with issues of self-love/confidence, emotional/relational instability, or behavioral change.

I am Dr. Lydia Williams, a Post-Doctoral Associate of Psychology since 2019, and serving mental health since 1984. Like many, I want the best for those I hold dear to me. In fact, that's what pushed me into a mental health career. I saw the pain my own family had to endure and I wanted it to stop, and quickly. No one should have to suffer.
