Michele Willingham MA, LPC, LAC, EMDR

I am an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Addictions Counselor, Certified EMDR Therapist with a demonstrated history of success treating mental health, trauma, Substance Use Disorders. Skilled in Mindfulness, DBT, Counseling Psychology, and Stress Management .with a M.A. focused on Mind/Body Psychology from Antioch University Seattle. Post Graduate training in Family System Therapy at The Seattle Family Institute. Along with other volunteer therapists, I provided facilitation of a skills/ support group. We worked as a team, providing effective skills, and information and supporting efforts to help people in Ukraine deal with fatigue, and burn-out, develop calm and sustain positive states of mind in the middle of chaos and trauma.

As I watched the unbearable events unfolding, my mind was flooded with images and memories.  My parents were survivors of the holocaust and escaped from the Nazis and built a life here in the United States.  My Grandfather lost everything,  his home and he was imprisoned in Dachau, The war and the Nazis destroyed everything.  Despite all my parents created a life here. Moreover, I care deeply about what happens in Ukraine and support the Ukrainian people. I do not believe in “ looking away” or pretending we don't see what is being inflicted on the people. If we work together to support Ukraine, we contribute to freedom and liberty for the world.

 I was so fortunate to find Nathalie’s (founder) initial outreach on one of my professional websites, someone told me how to apply to be a part of FAS.
