Beyond the Classroom – Meet Your PhD Mentors Featuring Dr. Fernando Ona

We are excited to invite you to an impactful session with Dr. Fernando Ona, a trauma-responsive psychotherapist, social theorist, evaluator, biodynamic farmer, and public health scholar, on Thursday, May 29th at 5:15 PM PST.

Dr. Ona’s work spans a wide range of transformative fields, including leadership in complex humanitarian emergencies, healing for survivors of torture and conflict, and sustainable environmental health systems. His approach integrates biopsychosocial and spiritual interventions to address trauma from all angles.

With specialized training in EMDR, CBT, solution-focused therapy, internal family systems, trauma-sensitive yoga, MBSR, and expressive somatic therapies, Dr. Ona offers unique insights into trauma-responsive leadership and healing practices. He also pursues theological studies in transformational leadership, spiritual care, and interspirituality, further enriching his approach as an ordained minister.

This session is a rare opportunity to explore the intersection of trauma, leadership, and spiritual care, and learn how Dr. Ona’s integrative methods are transforming the way we approach humanitarian work and healing.
