Ep. 25: Mental Health Stigma: A Critical, Grad Student Perspective on Treatment, Training, & Lady Gaga

In this episode of Dear Grad Student, Elana chats with 1st year Counseling Psychology PhD student, Jordan Alvarez, about mental health stigmatization in populations of color.  We dive into our own experiences as grad student therapists-in-training and identify institutional barriers to treatment for people of color. Plus, we take a critical look at barriers to therapy access, barriers DURING treatment & limited multicultural therapy modalities, and our love for Lady Gaga.
