Vickie Williams

Vickie Williams

Therapist

Virtual • Nevada


I am trained in some of the latest therapeutic techniques, including EMDR, DBT, and CBT. I don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach, but rather in meeting patients where they are. Together, we can work to fine-tune beliefs, regulate intense emotions, demonstrate compassion and self-regard, and quiet the inner critical voice often rooted in trauma.
