Welcome to Branches of Life!
I’m Anganatte “Nikki” Williams, the founder and owner of Branches of Life, a residential child care facility dedicated to nurturing and supporting girls in a safe, caring, and compassionate environment. With a background as a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, I created Branches of Life to provide a sanctuary where young girls can grow, heal, and thrive.
Our mission at Branches of Life is to offer a stable, nurturing home-like environment specifically for girls who need it most. We believe that every girl deserves a place where she feels valued, supported, and empowered to reach her full potential. Our dedicated team provides individualized care that meets the physical, emotional, and developmental needs of each girl.
In collaboration with Shalonda Sewell, the owner and founder of Family Support Services, and a Certified Grief and Anger Management Specialist with an MS in Psychology and Counseling, CGS, CAMS II, and MSW, we ensure that every girl receives the specialized care and guidance she deserves. Together, we strive to create a community that fosters growth, resilience, and hope. Through structured programs, compassionate care, and a focus on building positive relationships, we aim to equip each girl with the skills and confidence she needs to overcome life’s challenges.
Each child at Branches of Life is placed by local agencies dedicated to ensuring their safety and security. We are privileged to collaborate with these agencies to create a safe and nurturing environment for each girl in our care. Our mission is to support every child as she navigates her journey, providing care, respect, and hope for a brighter and more promising future.
Warm regards,
Dr. Anganatte "Nikki" Williams, DNP, CRNP, FNP-C
