Michael Williams, LPC — Therapist in Missouri

Hi there, I'm Michael!

I utilize a holistic, therapeutic approach to treatment that involves healing of the mind, body, and spirit. My journey has been shaped by an eagerness to teach people the importance of nurturing themselves with or without the use of traditional medications.

My focus

I currently provide individual therapy for adults struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, childhood traumas, and addictions.

My approach

My approaches to providing therapy are Client-Centered therapy, Cognitive Behavior therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Addiction therapy, Solution-focused therapy, Reality therapy, and Trauma-focused therapy.

My communication style

I like to provide clients with a safe and non-judgmental environment, where they are able to learn new strategies for healing and communicate the needs and goals of therapy.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey of becoming a therapist was prompted by an eagerness to learn ways to teach people the importance of nurturing our mind, body, and spirit with or without the use of traditional medications.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting using the S.M.A.R.T. criteria, meaning goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-based.

Our first session

Clients should expect a session where a psychosocial history is obtained, as well as rapport building.
