Carl Williamson, LMHC is a psychotherapist working in downtown New York City. His work focuses on individual, couple, and relationship therapy. He applies a pragmatic, collaborative, and integrative approach.
I aim to create a collaborative space for my clients to be supported, challenged, and understood in the process of reauthoring their stories. In my work, I center empathy and care, while drawing on diverse approaches to therapy, including narrative therapy, psychoanalytic theory, and attachment theory.
Some of my interests and clinical focuses include trauma, relationships, identity development, career, depression, anxiety, sex and sexuality, gender and gender identity, non-monogamy and polyamory, and HIV/AIDS. I also work with artists, designers, creatives, and individuals in the tech industry, as I am versed in these fields' unique challenges and specific cultural contexts.
My training has focused on feminist and anti-oppression approaches to therapy, with an emphasis on multicultural competence and humility. I received a B.A. in Psychology from Vassar College and a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from the City College of New York. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a designer in various contexts for more than a decade. I have a post-graduate certificate in family and couple therapy from the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy (ICP) and have completed level one training in Internal Family Systems (IFS).
