Congratulations, Dr. Washington!

For our final speaker Sunday before the 2026 APS conference — we are honored to highlight our current APS president, Dr. Abeer Washington!

Dr. Washington is a psychiatrist board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. She is the owner and Medical Director of The Rice Clinic in Little Rock and Pine Bluff, as well as Medical Director of Psychiatry at Jefferson Regional Specialty Hospital. 

Dr. Washington provides compassionate, patient-centered care across the lifespan. She completed both her medical degree and psychiatric residency at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and has been practicing since 2011 in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Dr. Washington specializes in the treatment of depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, dementia, women’s mental health, and other mental health conditions. Her clinical approach is grounded in evidence-based practices while incorporating a holistic, biopsychosocial, and spiritual model of care. She is deeply committed to treating every patient with dignity and respect, ensuring individuals feel heard, valued, and supported throughout their care journey. Known for her genuine compassion and dedication, Dr. Washington prioritizes building meaningful relationships with her patients. She finds great fulfillment in helping individuals move from a place of hopelessness and despair toward progress and recovery, noting that the most rewarding part of her work is simply watching her patients get better. 

Her message to patients and families is clear: you are cared for, and you are not alone.

She has received multiple honors, including Soiree Top Docs multiple consecutive years, AY Magazine’s Most Intriguing Women, and Arkansas Business 40 Under 40.

Outside of her professional role, Dr. Washington enjoys spending time with her family, staying active through exercise, participating in outdoor activities, and enjoying quiet time with her husband.

Thank you, Dr. Washington, for your dedication and commitment!
