If you want to be a school psychologist or have ever wondered what a school psychologist does, then this episode is for you! School psychologists are collaborators, advocates, leaders, and team players! They are in charge of assessing school aged children and identifying their needs for success in school. They work with other clinicians like Occupational and Speech therapists as well as mental health therapists and school counselors! In this episode we talk diagnosis, IEP's, and the many factors influencing student struggles and successes.

Life on the Border:A Therapist's Story About Her Immigration From Mexico. Episode In Spanish.
Resilient immigrant, therapist, mother, and attachment expert, Iyali Lara, candidly discusses her life experiences with me on this episode. She hails from Mexico, and moved to the United States a little under 10 years ago. She fled violence in her hometown of Ciudad Juarez. She discloses what it was like for her to live in fear for her life and her children's lives. She also tells me about the difference between living in the United States and Mexico. It took her great sacrifice and adaptability to create a new life for herself and her family here on the Borderland. Culture shock, trauma symptoms, and professional-licensing issues are all things she details in this enlightening episode. General recommendations for immigrants in the US and those professionals who work with immigrants are toward the end of the episode.
Oh, by the way, it's in Spanish. (Please excuse my Border Spanglish. I purposefully left it unedited for your amusement and unique listening experience.)

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).
