S02-EP06: "I Feel You and I Hear You" with guest Brittani Williams, LCSW
Cynthia gets to talk with Brittani Williams, LCSW and owner of Healmatic, a private practice in San Diego, CA. Beside the dope nod to 90's hip hop, what is also appealing about Healtmatic is Brittani's approach and authentic flow which is mad felt in this conversation. Brittani is a visionary and a therapist that is impacting so many by bringing her true self to her work. Brittani talks about co-hosting an EMDR and Hip Hop training, how music has inspired her practice, and how she stays rooted in her values.
