Latinx Therapy Adriana Alejandre, LMFT | Conversations about Mental Health Myths

Trigger warning: Medical Trauma
The re-launch of the Latinx Therapy podcast comes after very difficult past few years. In this trailer, I share about the dyfunctional family dynamics I was experiencing, my experience with my mother's illness, about the day she passed away and how it has impacted me. I will hold a Q&A via our Instagram stories, and via our YouTube channel since the podcast will be in video format going forward. I appreciate everyone's support.
