In this short episode, or "mini-sode" as I like to call it, I give a few tips on how to gently confront a person about going to see a therapist. It's easier said than done...but what is worse...feeling a bit embarrased about bringing it up? OR...Never saying anything about it but regret it later?
In the episode I talk about my resources page, which can be found at: www.throughtheeyesofatherapist.podbean.com (THREE LITTLE BARS AT THE TOP/DROPDOWN MENU)

Hi, listeners! I just want to thank you all for all the support, messages, and positivity! My little fan-base is growing and I truly appreciate every like, share, and download!
In this episode, the last of a four part series for #Mentalhealthawareness month, I talk about how to find a therapist that is right for you.
I list out factors to consider about your therapist like: cost, affordability, geographical location, types of licensed therapists, and specialties. I, of course, mention how you should find a provider who matches your style and someone who makes you feel emotionally safe.

In this candid conversation with three other people of color, we detail some of our personal experiences in White America. Americanization, acculturation, and assimilation can cause emotional and mental struggles. In this episode we also tackle: microaggressions, what Latinxs think of the US Border Patrol, being Latinx in higher education, and rampant systemic oppression (even in a Border City).
