Taquelia Washington

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I am a licensed clinical social worker and a certified transformation coach. I have extensive experience working in community mental health, serving individuals across the lifespan. I have worked directly with clients, have supervised aspiring clinicians, and have taught over 400 graduate level students as they worked toward their Master’s degree. 

At the core of my work I am a healing healer. My style is deeply intuitive and somatic (body) based as I partner with my clients to support them in listening to their own inner wisdom. I strive to create space for people to deeply reflect, notice, and strategize toward the change they are seeking in their lives. I am deeply honored to serve as a witness to my client’s journeys and to be entrusted as a guide in their transformation process. 

Past clients have described my approach as empowering, healing, and a balm for the soul.

Testimonials

THROUGHOUT MY YEARS OF OFFERING TRAININGS, I HAVE RECIEVED AVERAGE RATINGS OF 4.9 ON a 5-POINT EVALUATION SCALE.

Our agency feels incredibly lucky to have found Taquelia Washington and her associates. She brings grounded wisdom, experience in observing and addressing racial dynamics in a non-profit setting, a deep in-the-moment awareness of organizational and interpersonal processes, and an ability to guide that process toward healthier and more just interactions and systems.

Taquelia is a powerful presence, in both larger trainings, smaller group and individual coaching sessions. She provides accessibility to difficult conversations through a deep sense of empathy and acceptance to meet someone where they are. I have personally witnessed students and colleagues of Taquelia's make profound shifts within themselves after experiencing her as an instructor or facilitator. She leads her work with her heart, and this approach is felt in every moment she is with you.

Taquelia is a phenomenal individual spanning across several avenues in a powerful and yet quite and understated manner. Taquelia creates dynamic space for training's through well thought out perspectives, creating trust and holding space which feels inclusive and safe. She is one of our most sought after trainers due to her reliability of impeccable standards and staff desirability. As a coach she holds space in a non judgmental manner creating safety and ability to go deeper into ones challenges within the self and institutional structure.In my position I am able to receive feedback on her ability to provide clinical support to individuals and I have only heard glowing reports of their satisfaction and her ability to hold accountability and growth.
