Trauma-Informed Therapy for Complex Trauma & Neuroqueer folx
Charlie Vee Williams (they/them), LPC
Vee Williams uses a trauma-informed lens working with the intersectionality of NeuroQueer, gender diverse, and other marginalized populations in Virginia and Colorado dealing with eating disorders, specifically ARFID, CPTSD, chronic pain and dissociative disorders. Vee works with dissociative disorders and complex trauma clients to help heal past wounds to help them get back to their lives and be able to move forward into whatever goals they want to achieve to become the best version of themselves.
Vee Williams is a queer, trans, neurodivergent, and disabled therapist that uses a combination of lived experience and professional expertise to help treat clients using evidence-based treatment approaches to help them become the best versions of themselves. They are a lifelong learner dedicated to continuing their education and are always involved in a new educational endeavor to help their clients better. They aim to be EMDR trained by 2027 and just finished their Level 1 Internal Family Systems training through the IFS Institute.
Vee uses Internal Family Systems therapy, somatic therapy, and expressive arts through a psychodynamic lens to help clients address past wounds without having to talk through the details of what has happened if they do not want to. They believe that healing can take place using a combination of expressive art, bilateral stimulation, and processing where the body holds the memories through the somatic and emotional experiences using IFS.
Vee does not endorse nor use traditional ABA techniques.

Welcome to the Team, Sam!
Samantha Shifflett (she/her) Resident in Counseling
I work with the people who've never quite had a safe place to land — neurodivergent minds, creative souls, busy moms, and anyone navigating life's harder seasons. Whether you're carrying complex trauma, ADHD overwhelm, the weight of caregiving, or just the exhaustion of having to explain yourself over and over — you won't have to here. I get it fast.
I'm a neurodivergent, queer-affirming Resident in Counseling working towards my LPC in Virginia. I bring over ten years of experience in the ID/DD field alongside three years as a therapist using DBT, expressive arts, holistic, and trauma-informed approaches. I've always been fascinated by the brain and psychology — and that curiosity shows up in everything I do. I believe education and creative expression are essential support systems, and I practice what I preach: constantly making something, reading something, or learning something new.
I pull from ACT, DBT, IFS, somatic therapy, expressive arts, and holistic approaches — not out of loyalty to any one method, but because every person deserves something that actually fits. Sometimes that looks like mapping parts with IFS. Sometimes it's a grounding exercise or a creative prompt. Sometimes it's me saying the hard thing directly, because that's what moves the needle. My job is to hold the space, bring the tools, and match your energy with warmth and zero BS.
When I'm not in session, you'll likely find me with Daisy — my beagle and therapy dog — reading a book, writing, or dreaming about expanding into animal-assisted therapy someday. Life is short. Let's do the work and actually live.
