Is a loud inner-critic or anxiety interfering with your relationships? Are you tired of beating yourself up and second-guessing if you’re enough? Are ready to finally have the romantic relationship you’ve always wanted, the career you’ve dreamed of, or the acceptance of a supportive friend group. You know what you want, but it feels like there’s a disconnect. Believing in yourself may feel out of reach and negative life experiences often overshadow our hopes and expectations for the future, making it really hard to recognize just how valuable and strong you are.

Welcome! My name is Victoria Williams and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I work with individuals and family in areas such as anxiety, anger management, behavioral issues, coping skills, and depression, amongst others. I work well with adolescents in that I listen to them and help them gain insight to understanding how their behaviors play a major role in their future. I use the cognitive behavioral therapy approach as I believe thoughts are directly tied to behaviors. Once we are able to identify irrational thoughts, we can start to learn more positive functional behaviors to respond to uncomfortable situations.

Hi there, I'm Regina and I'm curious to know what symptoms your problem brings to you or a loved one. Maybe anxiety/panic, depression/sadness, or could it be grief? Perhaps anger, shame or low self-esteem? Do emotional/behavioral issues concern you? Perhaps trouble with change or a reluctance to work? Maybe ADHD? Are you troubled with sleep? Is your behavior self-defeating? Are you living with emotional intensity? Being alone in your own head can be disquieting. During counseling I use techniques that will help you explore and better understand the steps you can take to begin to move towards what is wanted.

I have gained knowledge working with trauma, abuse, behavioral disorders like ODD, DMDD, IED, self harming behaviors, suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety, ADHD, health issues, and parent/child relationships.
Are you looking for creative counseling to meet your specific needs? Therapy is not a one size fits all approach. I believe that treatment is collaborative, creative and individualized. I also believe in affordable care and striving for a sense of belongingness that can be accessed through group therapy.

” I work with all the detours that get in our way: anxiety, depression, grief, attention, impulse control, emotional regulation, bipolar, relationships, and TRAUMA RECOVERY just to name a few.
Taking time out for yourself is often an overwhelming task. Getting help isn’t easy. I know. I’ve been there. And I know, this is an important step. Sometimes in life we go through painful experiences. We usually try our best to work though that pain alone. Maybe we even have close friends and family who we confide in…but we still may feel alone, disconnected, or misunderstood. We are not designed to heal from pain and emotional injury by ourselves - alone. Having attempted that myself, I managed to only compound that loneliness and pain. Ultimately, professional guidance helped lead my healing. I think I can help lead yours.

Human suffering stems from unacknowledged trauma which develops multiple ways including spans of prolonged stress, surgery, crime, grief, injury, childhood neglect or abuse, domestic violence or bullying. Trauma symptoms- depression, anxiety, and PTSD, are difficult to overcome. With traditional therapy you may find symptoms keep resurfacing, thus impairing your functioning and leading you to feel frustrated and discouraged. But, there is another way to do therapy, the EMDR way. EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a therapy that goes directly to the trauma by targeting the way it is stored in your brain.

Anxiety Therapists
What are the most common treatments for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
