This week, I had the wonderful opportunity to talk with mental health professional, Dr. Maria Shantell Williams about her meaningful journey in mental health and leadership development. Dr. Williams has over 14 years of experience working with education systems, mental health agencies, and community organizations. She has her own private practice, The Relationship Institute, offering counseling, coaching and consulting services. Dr. Williams is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, a Licensed Professional Counselor- Supervisor, a Certified Organizational & Leadership Consultant trained under the phenomenal John Maxwell. She is known for her wisdom, innovation, and approachable way of relating to others.
In this episode, we explore how her family dynamic and certain moments in her life brought her to where she is now, and how important self-care has been along the way. We also talk about her work with professional black women and their mental health, especially as we continue to see the grave effects of systemic racism in our country. Finally, we discuss the power of therapy and what she hopes for the future of mental health.
Dr. Williams also introduces us to her new book launching soon, so we’ll be sure to share as soon as it does. Check back here for updates!
