Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Concord, NC

Do you need help understanding how your thoughts and emotions might be affecting your current experience? I specialize in helping clients ages 12 and up work through depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, burnout, low self worth, and overwhelm. Together can work to shift unhealthy beliefs and patterns, learn tools and strategies to help you feel calmer and more in control, change habits that no longer serve you, and tap into a deeper understanding of who you are now and who you are becoming. You are more than your challenges. We all need support at times to navigate the healing journey in order to feel whole and balanced.

Do you ever feel like things are okay, but not OK at the same time? Are there times when an unwanted feeling, thought, or behavior keeps you from being the person you wish to be? Do you believe you are suffering from a choice you made or somebody else made? I believe everybody deserves more than happiness, but to obtain a level of peace. Sometimes, life sucks. It’s scary. It’s frustrating. It’s lonely. It’s unfair… It’s filled with constant change. One thing that will remain the same is the sun and moon rising and setting. With each day passing, I believe there is an opportunity for growth and new discovery.

Have you ever felt you have set yourself on fire to keep someone else warm? I was introduced to this analogy to describe how one can make themselves uncomfortable for the comfort of others. Being a support for others has always been my passion and I want to help you to uncover thoughts, feelings, and patterns that are no longer working in your life. You are not alone. I work with adults from all backgrounds that struggle with depression, anxiety, loss, relationship issues, or just feeling overwhelmed and desires more effective ways to cope.

My ideal client is one who is ready to take the scary journey of doing their healing work. Clients may be a little apprehensive at first because it can be hard opening up to someone you don't know and it is really hard to self-reflect. No matter the issues, I am here to help my clients identify their goals, remove the barriers that keep them from their goals, and provide the necessary coping skills to improve the symptoms they are experiencing.

My ideal client is a person who truly wants to feel better or to get "unstuck." I work really well with most academically gifted adults.

My name is Ikia Williams. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked with various populations and have a diverse background including people with trauma, depression, anxiety, terminal illness, grief and loss and relationship problems.

I have spent much of my mental health career serving teens and families. I also have experience working with couples experiencing a range of challenges. I find solution focused and narrative driven approaches to be the most effective and supportive methods.

I have been in the mental health field for over 20 years providing therapy to children, adolescents, and adults. I believe that all people have a desire to improve their life. Through my counseling services, clients are provided tools to empower and understand themselves, as well as, improve their relationship with others. When clients are provided empathetic listening, and effective interpersonal skills to deal with anger, stress, and communicate more effectively, success is a given and a healthier person arises. I specialize in therapy for depression, trauma, anxiety, couples and family counseling, and parenting support.

Navigating hardships in life and in relationships is difficult. I believe that many times the relationship that needs the most work is the relationship that you have with yourself. If you are experiencing challenges in your relationships, self esteem or with depression and anxiety, you owe it to yourself to find the answers you have been looking for so that you can heal. If you are ready to improve your quality of life, while healing the relationship with God, yourself and others, I encourage you to take the next steps in your journey. I also enjoy working with those seeking to heal from narcissistic abuse. I'm ready when you are!

In our journey together, my unwavering commitment will be to create a supportive, safe, and judgment-free environment where you can activate or take back your voice.  I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate with experience working with clients through life transitions, anxiety, trauma, depression, and self-worth.

Are you over the feeling of being stuck in your head and tired all the time from your mind running in too many directions? Sometimes this looks like anxiety, stress, irritability, amoung many others; however, it could also be underlying trauma. Trauma comes in many forms and looks different for each person because of our bodys' various responses to outside experiences. We don't get a say in whether we want to take on an event as traumatic or not, but we do have the power to overcome what happens to us and find our purpose and meaning in life again.

Welcome! If you're reading this message, you're probably ready to make some life changes or find a place to be understood. You are? Keep reading. My hope is that if you're feeling disappointed, overwhelmed or just want to work towards your goals and refocus, we address that together. Therapy can seem overwhelming, but I believe that everyone should have a non-biased person to work out their challenges with that can't and won't talk to anyone else in their circle about those challenges. Imagine how much easier things would be if everyone had a therapist!
