Testimonials

Amy F.  Mother of 17 year old, Pennsylvania

I am not sure that I can say enough about the care that Dr. Williams has provided for my daughter for her ADHD.  She has helped her improve in so many ways.  She has become more focused, responsible, and attentive.  Aside from the improved mental clarity that we can see, she has also improved athletically.  She has more endurance and has dropped time in competition without any change to her training.  We can attribute all these improvements to the supplement routine.  Dr. William's was thorough in getting baseline data through blood work and urinalysis.  She developed a comprehensive plan with re-checks on the way.  She explained everything to the level of our understanding and has worked to make it something that she can do on her own.    It has been amazing to have a teenager admit that she can see a difference, while being a parent who has witnessed the growth and improvement over that last year in all aspects of her life.  I cannot say enough about Dr. Williams and would recommend her to anyone!  She has given us such peace of mind with our daughter finishing high school and moving on her college adventure next year.

Megan L. Mother of  9 year old, Pennsylvania

Dr. Williams has been a caring, patient, and highly knowledgeable member of my son's health care team for approximately 9 months. She has worked in cooperation with his pediatrician and our family to dive deeper to investigate potential physical causes of some of our son's behaviors and symptoms. She has been willing to go at the pace we are comfortable with in regard to tests and trying different vitamin supplements and lifestyle changes. By working with her, we have been able to rule out a number of potential culprits, and have discovered several deficiencies and other concerns that we are now addressing. I highly recommend seeking her expertise if you feel there may be something your doctor is missing or you just feel something is off but you don't know where to start.

I have always believed that true wellness depends on forging a strong relationship between mind, body, spirit, and community.  

From the time of my childhood as a competitive gymnast, I learned that peak athletic performance required not only dedicated practice, but also attention to nutrition and mental wellness.  At Cornell University I majored in Biology and Society studying both the biological and social sciences while competing as a student athlete.  After medical school, I chose to specialize in family medicine because of my desire to care for people across all stages of life and create long-term relationships with intergenerational families.  I enjoyed a successful practice in rural Pennsylvania for a decade.  

I then sustained a brain injury and was unable to return to my busy family practice.  During my recovery, I again turned to nutrition to aid my healing delving further into alternative and integrative approaches and remedies. I was introduced to mediation through a Mindful Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course, developed a daily mediation and yoga practice, studied herbal therapies, and read all I could about non-pharmacological treatments for cognitive and mental health.  

I realized that I could best heal myself and serve others with an approach that combined alternative and conventional modalities. Therefore, I completed a two-year Integrative Medicine fellowship at the University of Arizona, training under the guidance of esteemed Drs. Andrew Weil and Tierarona Low Dog, and became board certified in Integrative Medicine.   Since 2018, I have participated in research on access to treatment for Pediatric Acute-Onset Syndrome (PANS) / Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcal Infections (PANDAS), with publication of a peer reviewed journal article in 2021.  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34618516/

In 2023 I completed an additional Fellowship in Integrative Psychiatry with James Greenblatt, MD, pediatric psychiatrist, to further my knowledge of mental health interventions through nutritional, functional, and metabolic approaches. I am now a peer mentor leader for other physicians in training.

Through a volunteer lecture series I teach about Integrative Medicine and have spoken to government agencies and community groups. I have advocated for evidence-based care without the use of psychotropic drugs and seek to educate on the perils of psychiatric drugs for children.   I continue advocacy for PANS/ PANDAS and other autoimmune, metabolic, and nutritional etiologies of emotional disruption. Seeking the underlying root causes for mood disturbances such as anxiety, depression, hyperactivity, and OCD is my passion.

I offer consultations to both patients and their physicians to integrate wholistic healing alongside conventional medical care.  

I continue to live my life with an aim of wholeness.  I am inspired and grounded by my daily gratitude practice, meditation and yoga and teach community yoga classes a couple times a week. I also enjoy hiking with our dog, spending time with my three children and husband.   I have a lifetime love of learning and you can always find me reading and further educating myself on medical topics. 

I am grateful to be able to provide care via telehealth to all people in Pennsylvania and in-person care to people from other states.
