Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I work with high achievers, professionals, executives, and driven individuals who look capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed, self-critical, or stuck in constant overthinking. You may be managing career pressure, anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, procrastination, relationship stress, or difficulty setting boundaries. Even when things look successful from the outside, it can feel exhausting to keep pushing while privately second-guessing yourself.
My approach is practical, direct, and focused on helping you make meaningful changes in your day-to-day life. We will work on understanding the patterns that keep you stuck, building confidence in your decisions, improving boundaries, managing stress more effectively, and creating a healthier relationship with work, achievement, and responsibility. The goal is not just insight, but real progress.

Dr. Bridget Williams
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Here you are struggling and searching for help but overwhelmed with all the options. Let's start with a conversation. I am a licensed psychologist who works with adults (+18) virtually in all PSYPACT states. I am trained as a generalist, with a focus in trauma, women's issues, and perinatal mental health. Together we will explore aspects of your life - the thoughts, beliefs, and feelings - that are creating conflict and challenges. My goal in therapy is to facilitate a trusting atmosphere to empower, inspire, and challenge. Therapy is work. It is about identifying and unpacking beliefs about yourself, others, and the world that cause distress or no longer serve you. I bring a compassionate and curious approach to my work and support individuals as they give voice to their experiences.
Outside of my therapy practice, I am a distance runner, mom, and avid reader. I enjoy spending time in nature, going on adventures with my partner and children, and creating moments of joy in the kitchen either cooking or baking.
