Adia Williams, MFT Intern

Scottsdale and Virtual Openings

I am currently a graduate student at Arizona State University working towards an advanced degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Family and Human Development, and a minor in Psychology. I have experience working with people of all ages and walks of life. I have always been very passionate about helping others, and my passions and curiosities have grown deeper as I’ve continued my education. My goal is to create a safe space where my clients feel free to express themselves and their inner vulnerabilities, knowing that they are in a judgement free zone. I value creating a genuine, trusting connection with my clients, one where my clients feel my unconditional positive regard and emotional presence. 

Throughout my education I have learned many tools and techniques that I want to share with my clients to help guide them through difficult life challenges, while highlighting their own resources and skills.
