About Dianna Williams

Hey! I’m Dianna Williams.

I am honored you have decided to learn more about me and my story.

I am a mix of many components, but to name a few, I am a woman of faith, soul-rooted, a wife, a traveler, empathic, one who often feels the feels, and a previous momma of a fur baby and a few chickens. I enjoy connecting with people and am perfectly fine being a homebody too - it depends on the day!

I feel in my element when I am in nature, taking in the beauty of the creation and connecting with my Colombian roots.

I have become deeply immersed in basketball culture and have grown to love the game. It has gifted me the ability to learn about the lives of athletes and witness them in their element, showcasing their talents.

I’m most passionate about helping individuals realize their worth so they can be more equipped to maneuver in their spaces and be strategic about seeking a healthy relationship, not just any relationship.

I have a special place in my heart for those individuals who identify as BIPOC or first-generation, as I know by identifying as such, spaces become even more challenging to maneuver.

My journey that led me to my passion

I felt a lot of confusion and insecurity during my upbringing. I often felt something was wrong with me and that I was unlovable and didn’t belong. To some extent, I would say I felt desperate, wanting to find “my person” to make me feel whole so bad that I fell for anything, which left me facing many cycles of tears and pain. Ultimately, it left me thinking I was broken, not enough, wondering, “Why me?”

But relief happened!

I experienced an aha moment that changed my life forever: what I had thought about myself initially was wrong. I then began feeling confident and realized my worth. I found myself more in control, calling the shots.

That was step one, and I implemented the same strategy in the other aspects of my life I was not confident to maneuver and found myself freed from others’ judgment because, for so long, I felt I was living through people’s lens of me, not my own.

As a first-generation Latina, my upbringing was geared towards taking advantage of the academic opportunities the states had to offer; that was the goal instilled in me from day one. My family made a lot of sacrifices for me to be in America, so naturally, I felt the pressure of having to make it for all of us. Though I see now it was a gift in disguise, and my family did the best they knew how to, I didn’t really grow up knowing how to maneuver in everything else: finances, friends, relationships, career world, faith, etc.

As a result, I didn’t realize my worth and fell victim to trying to conform to others’ opinions or desires, that I grew up without feeling I had a voice, my own identity, or just a simple sense of self. I experienced a low point (quite a few times in various areas, actually), but a significant change came after that moment.

I want others to experience the same gift of a significant change so they don’t fall victim to toxic, pointless relationships and other endless negative cycles.

I want to use my passion to transform the world by offering to help others experience life through a different lens, one that is empowering and clear, and one that goes out with a purpose, reaching their full potential… helping them create better relationships with themselves, their immediate families, and communities, and give a light of love and hope.

Though I am happy and more confident in my place in the world, there was much about life I was unsure about that led me to a looooot of mistakes. Mind you, I still make mistakes (working progress), but I want to help prevent people, as much as I can, from experiencing unnecessary heartaches.

How, you ask?

By providing a confidential, judgment-free space with permission to be and explore their WHOLE selves, while offering tools I have learned along the way to help establish a healthier grasp on navigating the world… hopefully breaking negative generational patterns and preventing them from continuing to affect future generations.

Want to know more about me and my credentials? I feel you. I would too ;)

Again, my name is Dianna Williams. I am a licensed professional counselor in South Carolina and Arizona. I am also a Christian counselor who is bilingual in Spanish. I have been in the counseling field on an official level since 2017.

Before becoming official-official, I often found myself in the non-profit world, helping those in marginalized communities, where I discovered a passion for working with teens and young adults and was encouraged to pursue my master's in counseling.

After becoming official, I spent most of my time working in similar spaces as I began my journey in and learned how to help survivors of trauma heal.

I realized the need for and importance of creating a safe space and operating under an umbrella that honored those from the BIPOC and Immigrant communities.

So, I opened my private practice to create a place to help integrate all parts of oneself, including spirituality.

Bottom line, if you are looking for a therapist who can relate to where you’re coming from and has tools to help get you to where you want to be while providing a space to come as you are, then take the next step and contact me.
