RESILIENCE•CONNECTION•GROWTH
Holistic therapy offered in Oregon and California
Kip Williams, Ph.D., LMFT (he/him)
Welcome, traveler! Are you on a path seeking emotional resilience, self-discovery, increased connection, and personal growth? I offer a holistic approach to therapy that honors the body, mind, spirit, and natural world. Drawing on my activist roots and more than 10 years of clinical experience, I bring a deep sensitivity to issues of complex trauma, grief and loss, social justice, spiritual emergence, and LGBTQ+ mental health.
Most of my clients have been in therapy before—some for many years, but with limited results. They often arrive at my practice seeking a holistic alternative to traditional “talk therapy” and the medical model of mental health. I’m passionate about combining trauma-sensitive mindfulness practice and somatic (body-centered) interventions to help my clients see through their old stories and limiting beliefs to a more direct and profound experience of Self.
Everything you need is already inside of you, and I would be honored to help you connect with it! Please take a look around my website to learn more about my approach and the unique modalities I offer. You’re also welcome to contact me to schedule a free 30-minute consultation.

SPECIALIZATIONS
LGBTQ+ MENTAL HEALTH
I welcome the intersections of who you are and the complexities of your lived experience. As a white-bodied and cisgender gay/queer male therapist, I bring an intersectional lens to help LGBTQ+ clients process past traumas, strengthen their resilience, and live from a place of authenticity and wholeness.
CANNABIS AND PSYCHEDELICS
I offer specialized harm reduction services for developing a mindful relationship with cannabis and other psychedelics. I teach safe and responsible use practices, guide psychedelic cannabis experiences, and help my clients integrate non-ordinary states of consciousness to promote holistic well-being.
