Called to Healing
Podcast Description
A podcast by two BIPoC/PGM Mental health practitioners (Dr. Ksera Dyette & Blanca Torres, LMFT) at different parts of our professional journeys, who answered the call to healing. We are here to have conversations that were sorely lacking in our training...like how our cultural identities shape our approach to mental health, how whiteness is deeply embedded in our fields, and how we show up despite it...to spite it.

Trigger Warnings: This episode discusses heavily the topic of sexual violence. We also discuss the issue of weaponizing minoritized identities as a way to make others feel badly.
On this episode, we discuss the dilemma of therapists on social media. We dive into the scandal surrounding Therapy Jeff, and that fake doctor, Cheyenne Bryant. We also center/highlight other clinicians on social media and their takes on these issues, namely Dr. Raquel Martin and Keanu.
