Porsha Williams, LCSW — Therapist in New York

Hi there, I'm Porsha!

I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to adults navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and grief. I help clients build resilience, develop coping strategies, and foster personal growth. My approach is client-centered, empowering you to find balance and clarity in your life.

My focus

I work with adults navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and grief. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can explore challenges, build coping skills, and foster personal growth. Whether facing overwhelming stress or major life changes, I help you gain clarity and resilience.

My approach

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and goal-oriented, tailored to your unique needs. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and a strengths-based approach to help you identify patterns, build resilience, and create meaningful change.

My communication style

I create a calm, open-minded, and supportive environment where you feel seen, heard, valued, and understood. My communication style is warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental, allowing you to explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace. Sessions feel collaborative and empowering as we work toward meaningful change.

My journey to mental healthcare

I wanted to connect on a deeper, more personal level through therapy. Being a therapist allows me to support individuals in a meaningful way, helping them navigate challenges and build resilience. Seeing my clients grow, heal, and find their strength is what inspires me every day.

My goals for you

I take a collaborative and personalized approach to goal setting, ensuring your goals are meaningful, realistic, and achievable. By incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and a strengths-based perspective, I help you break down challenges into manageable steps.

Our first session

Our first session is about creating a comfortable space for you to share what brings you to therapy, what you hope to achieve, and how I can best support you. I will explain how therapy works, answer your questions, and learn about your experiences and goals. We'll also explore whether we're a good fit to work together.
