Clinician Spotlight: Deborah Williams, LMHC

Meet Deborah!

Deborah works with both in-person and virtual clients in our Tyngsboro location.

1.) Hi, Deborah! When did you first know you wanted to become a therapist?

I knew I wanted to be a therapist after taking an AP psych class in high school my senior year. I loved studying all the different diagnoses and people’s experiences. I had initially wanted to be a veterinarian, but then quickly realized I don’t think I could handle the very sick animals.

2.) Where did you go to school and what was one of the highlights of your learning experience?

I attended Cabrini University as my undergraduate school, and Immaculata University for my grad program. Both are located outside Philly. My most memorable highlight of that time has to be when I completed my internship and learned so much about myself.

3.) What is something you have discovered about being a therapist that perhaps you didn't realize when you first started this journey?

My impact on my clients.

4.) What are some of your most go-to approaches, interventions or skills?

CBT approaches and Grounding Techniques.

5.) What is one of the more challenging things about being in this field?

Burnout and not overthinking everything.

6.) Which themes/topics interest you when considering continuing education in the near future?

DBT skills.

7.) What is one of your favorite psychology-themed books?

"Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents" by Lindsay Gibson, and for fun anything by Frieda McFadden.
