    LISA ZEITLIN - I AM ONE Who Holds Space for Healing

    Send us a text On today’s episode, we’re sitting down with one of the loveliest humans on this planet, Lisa Zeitlin. She’s a Perinatal Mental Health-Certified Licensed Clinical Social Worker, hailing from the City of Angels - Los Angeles, CA, and is currently PSI’s English-Language HelpLine and Intervention Manager. We’ll chat all about the importance of having different care options, creating spaces that feel safe for help-seekers, and imposter syndrome (which is a real thing - even among providers). It was a pleasure to hear how Lisa’s professional experience led her to all of the incredible work she’s doing to support folks now at PSI! So, without further ado, please sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode with our friend, Lisa.

    DR. NICOLE TAYLOR - I AM ONE Who Created Support To Fill The Gap

    Send us a text On today’s episode, we’re sitting down with the truly awe-inspiring, Dr. Nicole Taylor – the Medical Director for PSI’s Psychiatric Consultation Program and an Executive Member at Large for the PSI Board of Directors. We’ll chat about her experience with undiagnosed PPA after becoming a mother, identifying gaps in medical care, and all of the ways she’s supporting folks (including parents & providers) – even if that means INVENTING support that doesn’t yet exist. She quite literally does it all, and yes – we made sure she has time to sleep. It was such a pleasure to record this conversation and we can’t wait for you to hear it. So, without any further ado, please sit back, relax and enjoy this episode with our friend, Dr. Taylor.
