Caridad Baez-Williamson
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Licensed Professional Counselor
About
If you feel stuck in toxic relational loops, exhausted by chronic stress, or weighed down by trauma, you don’t have to carry it alone. Healing after emotional abuse, narcissistic dynamics, or toxic family systems requires more than standard talk therapy—it takes validation, practical strategy, and real clarity.
I offer faith-centered, trauma-informed counseling (including EMDR) for individuals, couples, and first responders. Prior to becoming a therapist, I served as an NYPD Detective, giving me a deep, firsthand understanding of acute stress, resilience, and complex human dynamics
I work with spouses, adult children, parents, siblings, friends, caregivers, ministry leaders, and helping professionals who have been impacted by both diagnosed and undiagnosed personality disorders. Together, we explore how these relationships and experiences have affected self-worth, boundaries, emotional health, decision-making, faith, and spiritual well-being.
Many of my clients come to counseling carrying wounds from faith communities, ministry settings, or relationships where Scripture, spiritual authority, or religious expectations were misused in ways that caused harm. Others find themselves struggling with questions about God, trust, forgiveness, or faith after experiencing betrayal, rejection, or abuse within a church context. I provide a safe space to process these experiences without judgment while helping clients discern healthy faith from unhealthy spiritual dynamics. Together, we’ll process shame, set unshakeable boundaries, and break unhealthy patterns so you can build concrete tools for lasting change.
The following are areas I have received training in: Basic EMDR (August 2023); Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (September 2023); additional training in working with Abuse, Trauma, and the Emotionally Destructive Marriage (Leslie Vernick/LightUniversity), Shame, Narcissistic Abuse, and Gaslighting; certified PREPARE/ENRICH facilitator; Certified Enneagram Coach trained by Beth and Jeff McCord (Your Enneagram Coach).
Your Enneagram Coach Program is a faith-based, gospel-centered approach to using the Enneagram to identify our core motivations and whether we are operating as Beloved Children of God or as ophrans.
PREPARE/ENRICH relationship assessment that guide couples through a structured process that helps strengthen communication, explore expectations, and build a healthier foundation for their relationship—whether preparing for marriage or strengthening an existing one.
