William Dean earned his Master of Arts in Professional Psychology at William James College in 2020, and is currently in his 4th year of his doctorate program.

He has worked with children, adolescence, and adults/older adults. With a focus on working with adults and older adults, William has developed expertise in using a blended approach of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and narrative therapy to help clients identify and change maladaptive patterns of thinking and behavior to help them realize their true potential.

One of William’s areas of interest is narrative therapy, which involves helping clients create a cohesive narrative of their life experiences. By exploring and understanding how past experiences have shaped their beliefs and behaviors, clients can gain insight into their present challenges and develop a sense of agency in creating a more fulfilling future that they are able to author themselves.

In addition to their clinical work, William is also an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) in New York State. Drawing on his experiences in the field, he is able to provide trauma-informed care to clients who have experienced a variety of stressful or traumatic events, including first responders. William is dedicated to helping clients develop the skills and resilience they need to lead fulfilling lives. He believes in taking a collaborative, client-centered approach to therapy, working closely with each client to create a customized treatment plan that meets their unique needs and goals.
