our therapists

Hello! I am Mary Williams (she/her), founder and lead clinician at Collective Roots Psychotherapy LLC. As a licensed professional counselor and registered art therapist, it truly is an honor to witness and hold the space for your healing.

I have experience with and enjoy working with people of unique backgrounds, cultures, and identities. I am a sex positive therapist and have worked a lot with individuals and families in the LGBTQ+ community. Other areas of interest are: Anxiety, ADHD, Diversity, Sexuality, Trauma, Wellness, in addition to providing therapy to other therapists and healthcare workers.

As former co-founder and co-owner of Madison Art Therapy, it has been a privilege to serve the Madison community and beyond for over a decade. I am an artist, musician, and a nature lover at my core, I have found these to be instrumental in my own healing and growth.

Our bodies tell the story of our experiences and sometimes fragments of the painful stories can “get stuck” causing emotional difficulties, relationship struggles, feeling disconnected and even physical pain. The expressive arts therapies (art therapy) both naturally and intentionally integrate and harmonize with sensorimotor psychotherapy and somatic experiencing. Together we can work with and draw on your innate creativity and inclination toward movement to help inspire healing and connection.
