Endorsements

"Shiela Williams is a gifted mental health professional. She is a strategic program administrator, builds enduring partnerships in the community, nurtures her team, and her programmatic approach is informed by her years of clinical experience and expertise. She is a passionate champion of suicide prevention and mental health and wellness in youth, and working with her is a joy."
"Ambitious, passionate, and motivated, Shiela Williams has the education and experience to provide excellent therapy services. As an adjunct professor, she teaches grad students what usually isn’t taught in school – how to talk about suicide, the realities of dealing with your own stuff while working with clients, how to not just give lip service to being culturally competent. A proud person of color from Puerto Rican descent, Shiela has advocated for and served other cultures whose voices and experiences may be diminished by others. It’s not Shiela’s diploma or resume, however, that makes her an effective and compassionate therapist. It’s her heart. And dedication. And commitment. And love and appreciation for anyone who has suffered. And if nothing else, Shiela’s laugh will make your day brighter."
"When it comes to suicide prevention, mental health or wellness in general, I have never met a more passionate and dedicated person in my life. Her personal experience, cultural competence, education and work experience make her a force to be reckoned with as a mental health professional. Additionally, she is one of the most powerful speakers I have ever seen in action. She is beloved and trusted in the communities she serves. You just feel good being in her presence."
