About Fully Present
Where clarity becomes direction and presence leads to healing.
Meet Aeryn
I’m Aeryn Williams (LPCC-S), the founder of Fully Present Counseling & Consultation Services. I’ve spent more than a decade supporting individuals, families, and leaders across Ohio, and over the years one theme has remained the same: people thrive when they feel seen, supported, and understood.
I draw from evidence-based practices like ACT, DBT, and trauma-informed care, but I always tailor my approach to fit you — your history, your personality, your strengths, and your goals. Whether you’re navigating anxiety or depression, feeling overwhelmed by life transitions, healing from past trauma, or simply trying to reconnect with yourself, you don’t have to do it alone.
For those who are helpers or leaders themselves, I also bring years of supervisory and clinical leadership experience. I understand what it means to carry emotional weight, to be “the strong one,” and to feel stretched thin by the demands of your role. Therapy with me is a place where you don’t have to hold it all together.
Fully Present exists because you deserve a space where your story is honored and your growth is supported with compassion and honesty. A space where clarity becomes direction, and direction becomes forward motion.
If you’re ready to take the next step — I’m here, fully present with you.
