Richey Williams, Intern

My name is Richey, and I am currently a graduate student at Southern Arkansas University, where I am pursuing a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I hold a bachelor's degree in psychology, sociology, and history from Carl Albert. My goal is to become a licensed counselor and provide a supportive and understanding space for my clients. I have experience working with individuals who are navigating the challenges of substance abuse, and I am passionate about helping people find a path to healing and recovery.

I was drawn to the field of counseling by a deep-seated desire to help people through life's most difficult moments. The human mind is complex, and I believe everyone deserves a safe and non-judgmental space to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. My work is driven by the belief that with the right support, individuals can overcome their struggles and lead fulfilling lives. I am particularly committed to serving the LGBTQ+ community, as I believe it is crucial for all individuals to have access to affirming and knowledgeable care. My goal is to create an environment where every client feels seen, heard, and respected for who they are.
