Jahmela Williams has been awesome!! I feel she has a true love and passion for helping others. When speaking with her I’ve noticed that she has highly evolved listening skills which makes it so easy to talk to her. I’m super excited to continue my journey with her.

Dr. Williams has created a positive atmosphere for which allows me to feel comfortable with her. She gives me a variety of ways to contact her and even sends me worksheets that allow me to really think about the answers. I can message her at any time of the day and she will respond to me within a day or two. She has flexible times for a live meeting with her. I really enjoy her counseling!

Hello my name is Jahmela Williams, LCPC, I am intentional about serving the needs of people/persons of color and intersectionality communities. I commend you for taking the first step to experiencing a transformational life. With over 15 years of experience in providing education and counseling services, my focus is on helping individuals successfully navigate through barriers that limit holistic well-being. One of the reasons for my success is the gift for forming positive, lasting connections with individuals. In all my years of service, I have never grown tired of empowering individuals to better know self, value, and live purpose. My counseling techniques are a strength-based approach infused with Cognitive Behavioral, Emotionally Focused, and Mindfulness theoretical frameworks. I believe life experiences carry emotional memories that influence thoughts about ourselves, our value, and our purpose, which in turn effect the choices and actions we take in life. I do not consider myself the expert but a facilitator that helps guide you along this process of discovery and awareness. I approach mental health from a holistic healing perspective. This perspective is woven into the very fabric of my being as a black woman. As a woman of color, I am intentional about providing a safe space for my extended community to learn tools in practicing radical self-care as a form of resistance and self-preservation. As a body of color, I am very much aware of how it feels to live in a society where I must demand “the right to matter”. Because of this, the mindset that I bring to therapeutic healing is one of radical acceptance, kindness, and non-judgment for my community and its intersectionality. It is my hope to be a therapeutic space to work on body, mind, and spirit healing, have your voice heard, and permission to breathe and “be”. It would be a privilege to accompany you on your wellness journey. I am committed to helping you realize your value and purpose and reach your healing goals.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
