DaJuan Williams, MSEd, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
DaJuan Williams is an Alumni of Youngstown State University. He received his B.A in Psychology in 2017 and M.S Ed, in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2019. While working on his degree, he was a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) at Oakwood Counseling Center working directly with Autistic children. He is passionate in being able to help children and adolescents be able to cope and work with their current stressors. He also works in the Youngstown City Schools providing mental health services to K-8 students. Being able to be an outlet for young children is fulfilling because in today’s time, it is hard for children to be able to cope and talk about their problems while dealing with everyday stress. His ideal population would be to work with young males without father figures and help them be able to understand that coming from a broken home does not mean their future is going to be broken. Outside from being a counselor, he enjoys the outdoors and listening and singing music.
