Dr. Deirdre Williams

Dr. Deirdre Williams

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who values creating a space where clients can show up exactly as they are. I believe therapy is both a refuge and a process of rediscovery—a space to pause, make meaning, and reconnect with yourself. My clients often describe me as warm, intuitive, and grounded, yet also honest and direct when it’s time to challenge old narratives that no longer serve them.

My background spans over a decade in clinical social work, program leadership, and supervision. These experiences allow me to bring both depth and practicality to therapy—helping clients integrate emotional insight with real-world change. I’m especially drawn to supporting adults navigating trauma recovery, burnout, major transitions, and patterns of self-silencing who are ready to reclaim their voice and balance.

Dr. Wan- Hai Tseng

Therapist

Feeling overwhelmed? Believe you aren't good enough? Dealing with grief/loss? Struggling to adjust to life challenges (health problems, career, college, infertility)? Experiencing relationship difficulties? Want to learn how to effectively communicate with others? I'm eager to hear your story. I'll encourage you to express your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace. From there, we will work together to identify problematic beliefs and behaviors impacting different aspects of your life with the goal of gaining a new perspective and using your strengths to create a healthy lifestyle.


My clinical training was in adult psychiatry at Columbia University Medical Center. I earned a Masters degree in Social Work from Florida International University and a PhD in Social Welfare from the City University of New York Graduate Center.


I specialize in working with adults who feel excluded in one way or another either at work, in their family, community, or society at large--immigrants, people of color, those with disabilities, LGBTQ+, etc. Even if you don't identify yourself in these ways, being treated as if you don't belong can impact parts of your life and I want to provide you support.


I generally assist adults with depression, anxiety, health problems, relationship issues, grief/loss, work stress, school issues, infertility, and parenting. My approach is warm, interactive and non-judgmental. I believe in collaborating with my clients to tailor a treatment plan to fit their unique needs. Depending on your goals in therapy, I generally incorporate a strength-based approach using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing techniques and/or psychodynamic approaches to help increase self-awareness, engage in problem solving skills and teach positive coping strategies.
