My name is Lateka Williams I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe counseling offers people a safe space to express and process how they feel so they may begin to heal and move foreword. I have a holistic approach to therapy that involves treating the whole person. I combine CBT, DBT, and REBT, to help change thoughts and behaviors.
Some of my areas of expertise are in addiction, grief, anxiety, depression, self esteem issues, adolescents, trauma, and family therapy. Over the years I have had the privilege of helping individuals and families move towards self fulfillment, peace, and stability.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, if you are ready to begin your journey allow me to assist and encourage you.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Excellent therapist. Knowledgeable and active listener. Gentle and non-judgemental. Warm and professional. Follow-up and probing questions that leave their mark on me for days. I recommend her without reservation.
Lateka quickly understood my complicated situation and has offered insightful, judgement free, loving insights and suggestions from the first day I met her. I am so grateful she came into my life, she is one of a kind!
I appreciate that Lateka allows me to self reflect, but also guides me with her expertise along the way.
Lateka is amazing. I’ve never felt like a therapist helps me figure out better ways to do things like she does! I feel like I can ask her for help accomplishing anything and she will figure out ways to help me get there. I feel a serious weight lifted from my shoulders since we started talking
Supportive, kind, patient, and helpful. I am so grateful for the guidance she gives in each session.
