ShayTeria Williams, MA, MFT-I
Marriage & Family Therapist Intern
There is a negative bias that exists telling us to function under the definition of strength being how much burden we can carry in silence. Perhaps, this is something carried within one’s lineage that was never addressed or resolved. Perhaps, this came from a failed relationship or was a representation of an environment that did not nurture one’s overall growth. Perhaps, the silence was used as sacrifice for the sake of the happiness and peace within others. No matter it's roots, there is truth in knowing beyond the lens of silence, there comes a time when one must replace silence with the journey to finding voice; including the cultivation of peace of mind.
I invite you to exhale in knowing you have taken the first steps in healing by pursuing this journey. As your mental health practitioner, there is an importance in creating a warm, enriched, nonjudgmental environment that is developed in trust. One that explores the sacredness of vulnerability, expands understanding and compassion, and peacefully elevates clients to an area of strength. The answer lies within you.
As your clinician, my goal is to act as a passenger as you learn to navigate your ship from a place of restoration. Thank you for trusting in me, collaboratively, to work alongside of you on your healing journey.
