Camille Williams, LCPC, CEDS-C
Camille Williams is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist and Consultant
CAMILLE'S EXPERIENCE:
Camille is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Certified Eating Disorders Specialist and Consultant (CEDS-C). Camille has worked for over a decade with the eating disorder population in higher levels of care, providing group, individual, and family therapy.
​
During her time in the residential setting, she was the coordinator for the eating disorder program for several years. She created and updated the curriculums for group therapy including groups on body image, binge eating, and psychoeducational groups for all eating disorders. Camille also trained all incoming staff on eating disorders and had frequent consultations and supervisions for several departments to provide ongoing support and education.
​
Working in a higher level of care for so many years has provided Camille with the experience of working with many co-occurring clinical presentations. Eating disorders have high comorbidity rates with mood disorders, trauma, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Camille has worked intensely with those diagnoses and they are often significant in treatment to address underlying causes of eating disorder behaviors.
CAMILLE'S APPROACH
Camille’s approach to working with eating disorders starts with acknowledging that there is no such thing as “sick enough.” If someone is struggling with their relationship with food or their body, that is enough to seek help and support. Camille is client-centered and believes in providing autonomy and freedom for each person she helps. She wants to help individuals build the skills to understand themselves and their behaviors while determining change that will benefit their life. Camille believes in a health at every size (HAES) approach and focuses on wellness as defined by those she is working with. Camille primarily utilizes DBT (dialectic behavioral therapy) and ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) as a framework for understanding emotions and teaching new skills. Camille also utilizes ERP (exposure and response prevention) to help work towards letting go of behaviors that aren’t serving someone and increase patterns and habits that are meaningful.
