Janika Williams
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed, LPC, CSC
My approach to therapy is rooted in a simple belief: no two people experience life the same way, so therapy shouldn’t look the same for everyone. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with a background in education and school counseling, I bring years of experience working with individuals, children, and families, along with an understanding of how our early experiences, relationships, and environments shape who we become.
The name Poplar Belief is a play on the phrase “popular belief.” So much of what we believe about ourselves, our relationships, and the world comes from things we’ve learned or accepted as truth, often without questioning them. But just because a belief is familiar doesn’t mean it’s serving us.
That’s the heart of my work. I take a person centered, collaborative approach that creates space for clients to feel heard, while also challenging the beliefs and patterns that may be keeping them stuck. My goal is not to tell you who to become, but to help you discover what’s possible when you begin questioning what you’ve always believed to be true.

Kevin Brown, Therapy in Mindfulness
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
You're here because you're feeling stressed, stuck, or simply wanting to grow—and I’m here to help. Together, we will navigate the internal and external challenges you’re facing, so you can move through them with greater ease and clarity. In our work, your feelings, process, and perspective will be validated and supported in a safe, compassionate space. And sometimes, we don’t always see or understand what we truly need. My approach to therapy helps you develop the skills to navigate relational and emotional challenges while deepening your understanding of what may be missing and how to meet those needs. Life is already hard enough—you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to offer you a safe, skillful, and supportive space so you don’t have to.
