Episode 74 | Normalizing Mental Healthcare Among Providers with Dr. Kristen Casey

In today's episode of Psych Talk I chat with Dr. Kristen Casey, licensed clinical psychologist, about normalizing mental health treatment among mental health, and other, providers. Dr. Kristen shares her personal journey with being a psychologist seeking her own mental health care and how that, in combination with her past work as an EMT, has made her so passionate about talking about this topic. We discuss why many mental health professionals are hesitant to seek out their own care and the barriers that mental health professionals face when seeking out mental health support. Additionally, Dr. Kristen discusses other helping professionals that she has worked with in her practice or seen in personal experiences who are also hesitant to seek out their own mental health care and some of the reasons as to why. Further, we discuss how Dr. Kristen normalizes mental health professionals seeking their own mental health care through her social media platforms and advice for mental health professionals listening who may be hesitant to seek out their own care.
