About me
"Life without change is not living; To be uncomfortable means that change is right around the corner!" I believe these words wholeheartedly as every individual arrives at a crossroads that determine whether they move forward, backward or remain stagnant. I work alongside those who may be within a crossroad - whether at home or in school, or even in social situations - that has them questioning which direction to choose. In my work as a Therapist, my clinical training and experience encompasses depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicidality, organizational skills, grief/loss, relationship issues, and other emotional/interpersonal disturbances facing teens today. I specialize in trauma such as sexual abuse, domestic violence, and/or bullying.
As an Adolescent Therapist, I subscribe to a strength based theories, Reality therapy, Cognitive Behavioral and Gestalt therapy, believing in the importance and connection of choice, empowerment, thinking and feeling for creating long-lasting change within individuals and their varying "parts of self".
Through exploring your sense of meaning and empowering your "choices", I can help you gain the ability to achieve personal growth, autonomy, improved relationships, regulated emotions, increased self-esteem, clarified self-identity, coping skills, increased communication and problem-solving skills, decreased anxiety and depression, improved lifestyle, and a deeper sense of self-worth.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Lemuel Williams. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
With the short time I was with him he was very caring and attentive and I would recommend him to a more down to earth person. He’s enjoyable to talk with also. I wish him the best! Thank you!
It has been amazing and super helpful
I appreciated his attentiveness and always giving me advice that were actions I could try out no matter the scenario. He had a down to earth approach and I really got a lot from our sessions.
Lemuel knows what he's talking about! The man is on point when I'm talking to him about something, and has great insights. He even switched up types of therapy for me when one type wasn't working for me with another therapist. He's kind, professional, and really has a great rapport with his clients.
Mr. Williams is highly professional and incredibly down to earth therapist. He challenges you without pushing you, and he celebrates your wins.
Excellent therapist, highly recommend.
It is said that ENFJs are over represented among top clinicians in the mental health field, and my opinion is that Highly Sensitive People deserve particular recognition. Lem Williams is both, and his counsel and empathy have been invaluable for me. I would especially encourage anyone who others recognize as highly sensitive, deep, or thoughtful to try and establish a connection, as I would regard these as his strengths.
Lemuel helped me look at my problems from a different perspective and had me challenge my way of thinking. Lemuel was kind and compassionate whenever we would talk and gave some good advice that I will continue to practice.
Lem has been super supportive and offered a great plan to start tackling a myriad of concerns. Lem responds quickly and very thoroughly. I always feel heard and supported and open to the advice or suggested work that follows.
Lemuel's sessions were incredibly helpful. The resources he provided really made me think about the problems I was having and how to address them. He was comfortable to speak with and kind.
Lemuel is a perfect match for us! He offers an unbiased opinion/advice, while also very being relatable.
Lemuel helped me get through a difficult life change. He helped me break down the problems and apply effective strategies to solve them. He is compassionate, supportive and his advice works.
Lemuel is very positive, super supportive and helped me trust my life's journey and the process! I know that now I believe in myself all good things follow - Things can and will get better! Just believe and be true to yourself! Thank you so much!
Lem has been a wonderful blessing to us! He makes the whole process fun. We have so appreciated his insight and examples on how to improve our communication. So lucky we got matched with him!
Lemuel was very attentive and had great suggestions for us to work on our family communication skills. We wouldn’t hesitate to use him again for sessions.
Lemuel has been super awesome so far! He responds to me whenever I need help and respects and cares about my issues. He’s helping me keep my mind straight through anxiety, relationship issues, and teaching me how to love myself again. He also has a great sense of humor and has been super relatable to me! Thank you!!!
Lemuel was exactly what I was after - he understood my priorities and worldview as a Christian, and with a calm and careful manner he helped me to work through some complex issues. I really appreciated his thoughtfulness, and the tasks he recommended have helped me a lot. I felt listened to and understood each time we spoke, and our conversations have helped bring a lot of healing and healthy habits of relationship into my day to day life.
He’s a really good listener and is able to interpret and anticipate all my needs and clears out my mind and helps me see what’s really important.
He is very positive, understanding, motivating, supportive and helpful! I would give him my recommendation.
Great guy. I’m in the middle of treatment but I’m learning a lot and having this has helped.
