77 - Mental Health in Latinx Culture (feat. Yesenia Reta)

This week, Robert is sick but hopes you can’t hear it on the recording. (That’s not mentioned in the episode anywhere, it just seemed like a good way to start the note.) We’re joined by Yesenia Reta, LCSW, who practices as a Christian therapist in Florida. She talks about how she views faith & mental health working together, how growing up in a Mexican family shaped her view of mental health, and some barriers she sees her Hispanic clients facing when trying to get treatment.

Things we mention in this episode/other resources:
- the Latinx Therapy website, which includes a therapist directory, the podcast, and more resources
- Yesenia’s episode of the Latinx Therapy podcast in English (‘Anxiety 101’) and Spanish (‘Viviendo con Ansiedad’)
