Dr. Rick Williams, CEAP,CSAYC,LSOE,LSOTP

A a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Licensed Sex Offender Evaluator and Treatment Provider, and Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor (LCAC), I am dedicated to providing ethical, evidence-based, and person-centered treatment to individuals with histories of sexual offending, substance use disorders, and co-occurring mental health conditions. My approach is rooted in the belief that meaningful change is possible when clients are engaged with dignity, accountability, and structure.

I utilize a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Good Lives Model, Relapse Prevention, and trauma-informed care to address criminogenic needs, enhance protective factors, and support long-term behavior change. I am also trained in risk assessment tools such as the Static-99R, Stable-2007, and ERASOR, ensuring that treatment is informed by objective data and tailored to each client's risk and needs.

Because every situation is unique, I use a tailored, strengths-based approach to meet clients where they are in times of crisis and help them achieve meaningful, lasting outcomes. I believe in drawing on each person’s inner strengths to guide them through recovery, accountability, and growth. I offer specialized interventions for alcohol, drug, gambling, mental health, and other process addictions, working with both adolescents and adults.
