Now Hiring | Part-Time Therapist (W-2) with Opportunity to Grow

Erin Williams Counseling is expanding, and we’re looking for a clinician who wants to be part of something more than a “close the door and work alone” kind of practice.

We are not your typical private practice. We take an active, collaborative approach to mental health care, working side by side with other providers including prescribing physicians to ensure thoughtful, well-rounded treatment. We also regularly utilize assessments and psychological evaluations when clinically appropriate because good care is informed care.

This position will start part-time with a clear pathway to full-time for the right fit.

Who We’re Looking For
• A clinician open to working with a wide range of presenting concerns
• Someone who enjoys working with children and parents
• A team-oriented provider who values collaboration and continuity of care
• An ideal candidate may have prior inpatient experience, though this is not required

Position Details
• W-2 employee position
• Compensation based on experience and training
• Supportive, collaborative environment with access to multiple services under one roof

We pride ourselves on being the premier mental health practice in the area, offering comprehensive services in one place so clients don’t fall through the cracks and clinicians don’t feel isolated.

If you’re looking for a practice that values quality care, clinical collaboration, and doing things thoughtfully (not just quickly), we’d love to hear from you.

Dear woman who still wants her marriage to feel safe,
connected, and kind again.

The one who remembers how it used to feel.
The one who hasn’t given up but feels tired of trying alone.

In 2026, we make room for repair.
For learning new ways to speak and be heard.
For rebuilding trust one honest conversation at a time.

Hope doesn’t mean ignoring the hard parts.
It means believing that growth is possible when both people are willing to show up differently.

Therapy isn’t about fixing someone.
It’s about strengthening the relationship and helping you find your footing again whether together or on your own.

You don’t have to have all the answers today.
You just have to take the next right step.

Therapist brain, but make it ✨off duty✨

This is for humor.
No houses were harmed.
No stoves were touched.
Just the very real experience of having unprofessional thoughts that absolutely stay inside my head 🤪 when I’m not clocked in.

I love what I do.
I also love boundaries.
Both things can be true.

If you’re here for relatable therapist humor, emotional insight without the jargon, and mental health content that feels human instead of preachy, you’re in the right place.

Adult Women’s Group Interest Form

After many requests from women in our community, we are in the early stages of creating a therapy group designed specifically for adult women who are looking for connection, growth, and support in a safe, intentional space. This form helps us better understand your preferences and needs as we thoughtfully build this group.

About the Group

This will be a closed therapy group with 6–8 participants. A closed group means that once the group begins, no new members will be added. The same women will meet together each session, allowing time for trust, safety, and deeper connection to develop. This structure helps create consistency, emotional safety, and a stronger group bond over time.

Group therapy can offer a powerful space to feel less alone, gain insight from others, and explore personal growth alongside women who may be navigating similar life experiences. While each person’s story is unique, shared themes often include stress, life transitions, relationships, boundaries, grief, self-worth, and emotional overwhelm.

Why This Form Matters

Your responses will help us determine:
• The best day and time to offer the group
• Topics and themes that feel most relevant
• What you’re hoping to gain from a group experience
• Whether this group feels like a good fit for your needs

Completing this form does not guarantee placement in the group. Once details are finalized, we will reach out with additional information about scheduling, cost, and next steps.

We’re grateful you’re here and appreciate you taking the time to share your input as we build something meaningful together.

Christmas can be beautiful.
It can be meaningful, cozy, joyful, and full of moments worth holding onto.

It can also be heavy.
Painful.
Lonely.
Triggering old grief, complicated relationships, or memories that don’t magically disappear just because the calendar says “holiday.”

If this season feels tender for you, nothing is wrong with you.

This is your gentle permission slip to rest.
To breathe.
To say no when you need to.
To step outside for a moment of quiet.
To grieve and still enjoy what you can.
To take care of yourself without explaining why.

Both things can be true at the same time. Christmas can be beautiful and hard. You don’t have to force cheer where there is pain.

From all of us at Erin Williams Counseling, we’re holding space for you this season. However you’re showing up is enough. 🎄

For those who have been patiently waiting and eager to have an evaluation conducted our waitlist is open.

What is a psychological evaluation… really?

A psychological evaluation isn’t about labeling you or putting you in a box.
It’s about understanding why certain things feel harder than they should.

If you’ve ever thought:
“I try so hard, but something still feels off,”
or
“Why does this keep coming up no matter what I do?”
that’s where an evaluation can help.

In simple terms, a psychological evaluation looks at how someone thinks, feels, learns, and processes the world. It uses research-based tools, interviews, and questionnaires to give a clearer picture of what’s going on beneath the surface.

Psychological evaluations can help clarify things like ADHD, autism traits, anxiety, depression, trauma, learning differences, and emotional regulation challenges. They replace guesswork with understanding.

And no, it’s not a test you can pass or fail.
It’s information. Insight. A starting point.

For many people, evaluations bring relief. Suddenly past struggles make sense. The narrative shifts from “What’s wrong with me?” to “Oh… this explains a lot.”

Clarity changes everything. It helps guide therapy, school supports, accommodations, and sometimes medication decisions so care actually fits the person.

Understanding your brain isn’t a weakness.
It’s one of the most empowering things you can do.

At Erin Williams Counseling, we offer comprehensive psychological evaluations right here in Canton, serving individuals and families across Van Zandt County and East Texas.

Because answers matter. And so does feeling understood.

Coming February 2026 Psychological Evaluations What are psychological evaluations?Psychological evaluations are designed to better understand how a person thinks, feels, learns, and functions in daily life. They go far beyond a short questionnaire or online quiz. Instead, they use evidence-based too...
