You will learn how to:
  • Identify Your Trauma Narrative 
  • Speak your needs in a healthy way that respects your values
  • Take action in breaking cycles you were stuck in.

About our speaker

JANUARY'S SPEAKER

Will Washington LPCC-S, Washington Wellness Institute

Dr. William C. Washington is a unique individual who combines his passion for music and psychology. He has become a prominent figure in modern psychology and the art scene, pioneering what he calls the “Siler Age of Psychology.” His musical background breathes life into this innovative approach, making him an icon in his field.

Known as “Dr. Will,” he is a licensed professional clinical counselor supervisor, clinical hypnotherapist, and Psychedelic-assisted therapist specializing in integration (MDMA and Ketamine). He is an Assistant Trainer for the Internal Family Systems Institute, a ROCKSTAR of Black Therapists Rock, a former collegiate-level adjunct faculty, and a counseling mentor. He is also a virtual reality (VR) therapist and created a simulation world to help kids express themselves online. He has a Ph.D. in Health Psychology, focusing on moral distress and recovering from secondary traumas (burnout, compassion fatigue, and job-life satisfaction).

William has been published as the first author, advocating for better healthcare provisions for mothers suffering from Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS). He is the author of “A qualitative study of moral distress in physicians during the COVID-19 pandemic.” He believes we should never choose the better choice, but the HEALTHY one! He is passionate about authenticity and celebrates everyone he meets for being present. Dr. Will has been a healer for Grammy award-winning artists and celebrities since the pandemic, using his own healing modality as an innovative technique specifically for artists as they create and heal.

Dr. Will has created his own holistic experiential integrative modality called R.E.S.E.T., which helps clients process and heal simultaneously through five principles. It is currently becoming a training model for holistic enhancement.

There is another side to Dr. Will: He is an accomplished musician who performs locally, nationally, and internationally. He has learned over nine instruments and was a member of the internationally acclaimed collective Mourning [A] Blkstar while locally leading Da Land Brass Band based in Cleveland, OH. William has performed and created music in notable areas such as Cartoon Networks Adult Swim, The Kennedy Center, and Christoph Winkler Company in Germany.

William started a non-profit called Viewunity, which focuses on content creator wellness and advocates for inclusive and healthy spaces for content creators. He streams games to raise money for sick kids in hospitals while discussing mental health.

William states, “Finding the blend of being Mind & Music, I have found that healing is my art.”
