The Artisan Counseling Team

(They/Them)

Abigail “Albie” Williams, LPC, ATR-BC, CSAC (they/them) is a dedicated and compassionate therapist committed to providing inclusive, affirming, and evidence-based care. With over a decade of experience guiding individuals through life’s challenges, Albie specializes in anxiety, depression, adjustment stress, and trauma, with a deep commitment to supporting the LGBTGEQIAP+ community and those with intersecting identities. They take a client-centered, culturally responsive approach, creating a therapeutic space where individuals feel seen, heard, and empowered.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Board-Certified Registered Art Therapist (ATR-BC), and Certified Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC), Albie integrates traditional talk therapy with expressive and creative interventions. They have extensive experience working with adults, adolescents, and families, supporting those navigating anxiety, depression, complex trauma, identity exploration, and relationship challenges. They are particularly passionate about serving emerging adults/students, LGBTGEQIAP+ individuals, and individuals seeking gender-affirming care.

Albie’s therapeutic approach is collaborative and strengths-based, drawing from Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Feminist Theory, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). They believe in meeting each client where they are, tailoring interventions to their unique needs, and fostering self-compassion and resilience.

In addition to their clinical work, Albie is an advocate for mental health accessibility and a passionate educator, having facilitated clinical trainings and peer consultation groups. They extend their commitment to community care by co-leading a community-building creative art peer support group for LGBTQ+ adults and engaging in social justice efforts that support marginalized communities. They strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their identities, navigate life’s transitions, and cultivate deeper self-awareness.

In their free time, Albie enjoys creating art, spending time with their two dogs, Rey and Bonita, and their recently adopted cat (graciously provided by the universe's Cat Distribution Center), Ms. Marple, gardening, community engagement/volunteering, and relaxing with loved ones around a firepit.

Whether you're seeking support for healing, personal growth, or self-discovery, Albie is here to help you navigate your journey with warmth, authenticity, humor, and expertise.
