About Richard Williams

I am a 32 year Air Force veteran. I served on active duty for 24 years retired and went back to work two weeks later at my same Air Force job as a GS-11 Civilian employee. I have experience treating trauma with military veterans and first responders.
I am licensed in Florida with 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, and self confidence.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. Let’s get you on the road to living the life that you deserve! The power is within you.

“First time really doing therapy. I have had a great connection with my therapist R. Williams. <br /> Going into this I didn’t know what to expect but my therapist was great to walk me though and make me feel comfortable. After our sessions, my therapist sends me follow up support and which I have used with me and my family (husband and 2 boys). I feel fully supported and only had a couple sessions so far. I didn’t feel like he wanted to just have a call and get me off the phone. <br /> <br /> He has definitely made me feel like he cares”

“Mr Williams is thoughtful, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. His influence from Eastern holistic approaches to mindfulness, discipline, and awareness were right up my alley. I’m grateful for his guidance and expertise!”
