Jeffrey Williams, LCSW
Therapy should be interactive and dynamic and this is generated from focusing on a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach with a strong grounding in Strengths Perspective. A variety of issues to include Depression and Anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, men's issues, and personality disorders are areas in which I have particular experience in treating. The relationship between therapist and client should be one of trust and competence and it should promote open communication and honesty for change to occur. I look forward to working with you and helping you through this process.

Dan Nicolau, Psychiatrist-MD
A patient is not merely a list of symptoms that make up a condition. All aspects of your life need to be understood. How is your job and home life? What is your ethnic and educational background? Do you have any medical problems? These questions and many more are needed to understand you and provide the right diagnosis and treatment for you. In most cases a combination of medication and talk therapy will give the best results. I am a triple board certified physician in Psychiatry, Addiction Medicine, and Obesity Medicine that can help you start feeling well again.
