Jill Williams, LCSW
Jill opened her private practice in 2014, welcoming children, adults, and families into her office. Coming from a background of community mental health and hospital work, she carried the mentality that she should work with anyone and everyone who needed support, as screening out referrals just wasn't a thing in her previous jobs. TBH ... it was pretty exhausting.
Over time, however, she realized that she does her best work with a specific client population so she started speaking to them directly on her website, screening out folx who weren't the best fit, and now she feels energized and excited by her work!
