Kyoko Williams

I'm Kyoko, and I understand the weight of pushing through—of learning early to suppress feelings and power through discomfort. Being raised in Japan, I internalized that emotional wellness came second to achievement and conformity, so I became expert at overworking, overthinking, and over-compensating. If that resonates with you, you're not alone. As a counselor, I specialize in helping individuals—from young adults through elders—process trauma, anxiety, and depression that often hide beneath years of striving and self-reliance. I work with the body and mind together using evidence-based approaches including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), sensorimotor psychotherapy (Somatic approach that works with your body as well as your mind), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Whether you're ready to finally set down the weight you've carried, or you're seeking coaching support, I'm here to help you reconnect with what goes deeper beyond achievement. I offer both telehealth and in-person sessions and am currently accepting new clients.
