More about Honey
Dr. Honey Williams, PhD (she/her) 🌈
I was born and raised in Montana. I attended Montana State University where I completed my bachelor's degree in Psychology. I then moved to Seattle and completed my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Seattle Pacific University. After 7 years away, I returned to Montana to open my private practice closer to family, the mountains and rivers, wide open spaces, and slower pace of life. However, the opportunities and diversity of Seattle, my WA clients, and the family I made while living there bring me back to Seattle often. I am grateful to have a telehealth practice that allows the flexibility to go back and forth between both homes and families without disrupting care for my clients. When the sun is out if I'm not working, you're most likely to spot me rollerblading around town, Green Lake, or the Burke Gilman Trail. During the winter you'll find me iceskating on whatever ice I can find (ideally outdoors!).
Training and Work Experience
My research and clinical training/experience has focused on trauma and mindfulness-based interventions. My dissertation research was published in the Journal of Loss and Trauma and examined the relationship between mindfulness, meaning-making, and posttraumatic growth in the context of traumatic grief. Throughout my doctorate program, I worked in a variety of clinical settings, including an outpatient psychiatry and behavioral health clinic, a residential treatment center, and group private practices. I also completed a one-year, pre-doctoral internship at Montana State University Counseling Center before returning to the Pacific Northwest to complete specialized training through a post-doctoral residency at Lighthouse Psychological Services. Throughout the various clinical settings, I gained in-depth training and extensive direct supervision in the psychological evaluation and evidence-based treatments for depression, anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, PTSD, complex trauma, complicated grief, ADHD, learning disorders, self-harm, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, substance use disorders, and personality organization. I have experience providing individual and group therapy, milieu therapy, crisis intervention, consultation, parent behavior management training, and psychological testing and assessment. After licensure, I continued working for Lighthouse before transitioning to my own private practice.
