William McCracken, LCSW
With nearly 30 years of contemplative practice and close to 30 years of experience walking alongside people through profound personal transformation, I bring rare depth to mindfulness teaching and coaching.
A lifelong student of Zen Buddhism, Daoist philosophy, and Western contemplative traditions, my practice is also grounded in the embodied wisdom of Taiji and Qi Gong — movement and energy practices that bring the teachings of stillness and flow into lived experience. I have trained extensively across these contemplative paths, and what matters most is how they show up our sessions together.
I hold certification in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) through the University of Massachusetts Medical School and am qualified through Brown University to teach Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). I currently teach mindfulness programs for both Brown University and Wilmington University.
My background as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker adds another layer of depth — nearly 30 years of sitting with people through difficulty, growth, and transformation gives me an understanding of human experience that goes far beyond any credential.
I work with people through mindfulness-based coaching and MBSR and MBCT programs — each a different doorway into greater awareness, clarity, and inner freedom.
I approach this work with humility, as both guide and lifelong student. Through stillness, presence, and practical wisdom, I invite you to explore the profound possibilities of inner growth and transformation.
