Meet the Therapist
Annette Williams, LCSW
Hello and Welcome!
I’m Annette, the founder of Simply Breathe Therapy, and I’m so glad you’re here.
​
For over 16 years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals, families, and communities through trauma-informed care. Whether I’m facilitating grief groups, supporting professionals experiencing vicarious trauma, or developing workshops, my hope is to create spaces that encourage clarity, compassion, and understanding.
My work is grounded in person-centered, evidence-informed approaches that honor each person’s unique experiences and strengths. I hold a special interest in trauma recovery, grief support, and community healing, and I feel deeply grateful to walk alongside people in their journeys toward healing and connection. I can also offer integrating faith into therapy which can bring additional hope, meaning, and guidance as you navigate life’s challenges.
More about me
I earned my Master of Social Work at
Boise State University, and at the heart of my work is a simple belief: healing and growth are possible-sometimes just
One Breath at a Time.
​
When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my wonderful husband and our dog, Murdock. We love kayaking on Maine’s lakes and waterways, searching for sea glass along the beautiful Maine coast, and visiting our family in the Northwest whenever we can.
