Dr. Francois Williams
Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Fellow
Dr. Francois Williams attended Xavier University of Louisiana in New Orleans and Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia. He completed his adult psychiatry residency at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, and is board-certified in adult psychiatry.
During medical school, Dr. Williams was awarded the American Psychiatric Association鈥檚 Helping Hands Grant, which he used to conduct PHQ-9 depression screenings and psychoeducational groups aimed at improving health literacy within local barbershops.
Inspired by this experience, Dr. Williams continued working with fathers and young men during his psychiatry residency. Through the APA SAMHSA Minority Fellowship, he explored the dual role of the barbershop as both a place for haircuts and a therapeutic space, facilitating group psychotherapy sessions in this unique setting. The fellowship also enabled Dr. Williams to complete a two-year postgraduate training program with the Eastern Group Psychotherapy Society (EGPS), the Manhattan affiliate of the American Group Psychotherapy Association (AGPA). At EGPS, he deepened his understanding of group dynamics, which eventually led him to facilitate parent management training groups for caregivers of children with ADHD.
Dr. Williams鈥� commitment to group psychotherapy remains central to his practice. He currently serves as a board member for the Group Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the American Group Psychotherapy Association.
Outside of his work in psychiatry, Dr. Williams enjoys curating and acquiring menswear, tailoring garments with the help of his local tailor, spending time in barbershops, riding his bicycle, and spending time with his family.
