¡Terapía! We Could All Use Therapy
Brought to you by the letters H-E-A-L-I-N and G in Volume 9 of ¡El Playlist!
Since the latest episode of La Vida Más Chévere was about Latines and therapy, how about some podcasts around the same topic? Consider this my continued effort to destigmatize psychotherapy and the need for more mental health resources, especially for brown people like us.
One of these might seem familiar, and from time to time you’ll see a repeat recommendation because the podcast is just that good. And if actual therapy is unavailable to you at this time, these free resources may help bridge the gap for now:
Buena Vibra Podcast with Doctora Ortiz
Description: Episodes offering information, insight and takeaways related to mental health and the field of psychology. Your host, clinical psychologist, Dra. Mildred Ortiz (psy28287) has over thirteen years of clinical experience and has helped many children, families, adults and couples offering psychotherapy services in English and Spanish. She continues to offer services and is Founder/CEO of Buena Vibra Psychological Services, Inc.

Episode recommendation: If you’ve already listened to the episode I was a guest for, I’d also recommend the latest one before la doctora went on a bit of a hiatus. It’s on healthy boundaries with Janisha Mickens-Ingram, LMFT & Shawnnell Pugh, LCSW.

Latinx Therapy
Description: Break the stigma of mental health as it relates to the Latinx community. Learn self-help techniques, how to support ourselves or those around us that struggle with mental illnesses and create cultural competency for other providers working with the Latinx population.

Episode recommendation: given my own recent brushes with grief, I gravitated towards an older episode in the Latinx Therapy catalog: Grief and Loss in the Latinx Community
