Let me introduce myself…

Meet Kaye Bradley Williams, LMFT, CSAT

Soon after launching two children into college, I was devastated by the abrupt ending of my marriage. I experienced all of the sadness, hurt, confusion, anger and depression that you can imagine. I had to face hard truths and rediscover what was safe for me. In that recovery time period, I had incredibly wise and supportive friends, family and counselors who encouraged me to return to school to pursue a Master’s degree.

That was decades ago, and I am forever grateful for the wisdom and knowledge that I learned from that experience, and which I can pass onto you. I truly believe that we can become stronger when we choose to embrace our sorrows, truths, joys and fears head on.

A few of my guiding principles

You are worthy of love and belonging.

~Brene’ Brown

 

When I am sick and tired of being sick and tired, I can move towards growth.

Change is possible.

You have insight and knowledge about all of the parts of you.

You are the expert on you. I want to be your collaborator.

 

When you replace judgment with curiosity, everything changes
