About Teral Williams
Teral Williams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She approaches each person with the belief that they are the expert on their own life and collaborates to define meaningful goals. Her work begins by building trust through attentive listening and unconditional positive regard in a compassionate, supportive environment that honors each individual’s experience.
She offers practical and strategic guidance to help clients find a path forward when they feel stuck, overwhelmed by loss, or unsure how to cope with intense emotions. Teral assists with processing anger, hurt, frustration, loneliness, insecurity, disappointment, shame, and sadness, and she has worked with a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting difficulties, and career stress.
Her background includes work in child welfare and experience with children and adults who have histories of physical trauma or emotional abuse, including those from foster care and adoption settings. Having lived through personal trauma as an adult, she recognizes that healing looks different for everyone and emphasizes individualized approaches to recovery.
Professionally, Teral has worked in both mental health settings and as a marriage and family therapist, providing psychotherapy to adults, children and adolescents, couples, and family units. She draws from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness practices, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Structural Family Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), blending methods as needed to meet each person’s needs. Colleagues and clients find her open, relaxed, and easygoing, qualities that help her connect with people from diverse backgrounds and stages of life.
For Teral, being a therapist is more than a profession - it is a commitment to engaging with people authentically and without judgment. She is willing to reach out during the week when appropriate and aims to help ease emotional burdens, foster healthier mindsets, and support clients in developing new ways of living in both personal and professional spheres.
