Aryane S. Williams, LPC, M.A.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who earned a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology, with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy from Antioch University, Los Angeles. I became a therapist to help people navigate their complex worlds in order to live healthier, happier lives. I believe in a holistic approach to health; that all components of ones’ life are interrelated and that the counseling process is a journey between the therapist and client where we explore areas of concern together.

My experience includes working with couples, families and individuals dealing with various challenges and issues. I specialize in treating adults and adolescents with both mental health and substance use issues. My areas of specialty are anxiety and depression, minority/multicultural challenges, trauma treatment, behavior issues, substance use and LGBTQ couples and individuals.

Before joining Magnolia Family Counseling, my previous work experience includes working as a substance abuse counselor for adults and adolescents at both Center for Discovery and Adolescent Change (Los Angeles) and Bridge House (New Orleans).  I also worked as a behavioral therapist at Center for Autism and Related Disorders (Los Angeles) and counseling families and individuals living with HIV/Aids at NO/Aids Task Force (New Orleans).

I hold a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Mass Communication from Dillard University. I am a native of New Orleans, Louisiana and currently reside in Gretna, Louisiana with my spouse and children.
