About Me
Culturally Competent. Person Centered.
My Background
I am a Licensed Educational Psychologist in California (BBS No. 4112) and a Licensed School Psychologist in Florida, with experience supporting both children and adults across educational and clinical settings.
My work is grounded in a comprehensive, whole-person approach to assessment. I specialize in understanding complex learning, attention, autism, and socioemotional profiles—particularly in individuals whose challenges may be subtle, overlapping, or not immediately visible.
While much of my experience has been within school systems, my practice extends beyond K–12 settings. I work with adolescents, college students, and adults who are seeking clarity around learning differences, attention, executive functioning, and autism spectrum profiles.
This includes individuals who:
-
have been previously evaluated but still have unanswered questions
-
are navigating academic or workplace challenges
-
are exploring diagnoses later in life
-
or have developed coping strategies that mask underlying difficulties
My goal is to provide a clear, integrated understanding that is both clinically meaningful and practical—supporting individuals in school, work, and daily life.
Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics
The Neurosequential Network acknowledges that Danett Williams has completed NMT Training Certification through the Phase I level. For more information on NMT Training Certification and the NMT Assessment Process, click here.
Hope in Schools uses principles from the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics. We believe in and practice the 6 Rs for treatment planning and intervention recommendations for the school, home, and community settings of you or your child:
-
Relational (safety)
-
Relevant (Individually developmentally appropriate)
-
Repetitive (patterned)
-
Rewarding (pleasurable)
-
Rhythmic (resonant with neural patterns)
-
Respectful (of the child, family, and culture)
When providing counseling, we aim to be:
1) Present, 2) Attentive, 3) Attuned, and 4) Responsive.
My Focus
My passion is to provide culturally competent attachment-based therapeutic and diagnostic services. I look at the etiology of the whole child by examining and including neurodevelopmental factors, along with gathering a comprehensive family history for any contributing information regarding your child's presenting difficulties. I can also utilize neurosequential information to help discern your child's needs.
I am able to utilize the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics to gather information about you or your child, having gained Phase I Certification from Dr. Bruce Perry's Child Trauma Academy. This provides comprehensive information as well as a brain map to help determine you or your child's current level of functioning in various areas that are normally not investigated, such as relational functioning.
