Avalie Grace Williams, LMSW (She/her)
Avalie Grace received her MSW degree from NYU in 2022. She is a NYS Licensed Master Social Worker who works with teenagers and young adults. Avalie Grace has a particular ability to connect with adolescents, a group of individuals who are so often misunderstood. She sees and remembers that longing to be heard, to be given the space to make mistakes in a safe environment, and to have unconditional support as one navigates the tricky landscape of discovering oneself. She is proud of her identities as a neurodivergent woman who is part of the LGBTQ+ community, an identity she is open about because she understands how important it can be to connect with someone who has similar lived experience.
Avalie Grace believes in the idea that each individual is the expert in their own life, so her approach to therapy is to engage in the process on the client's terms. She practices a combination of evidence-based and experimental therapeutic approaches including CBT, Play Therapy and Creative Expression.
