Mental Health Awareness Series with Kathy Acosta, LCSW

For May's Mental Health Awareness Month, we're featuring our short Mental Health Awareness series, where we will delve deep into the diverse experiences of the therapeutic world with mental health professionals. On our first episode of the series, we welcome a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, private practice business coach, and founder of the Latinx Practice Collective, Kathy Acosta, LCSW who is on a mission to blend passion with purpose.  During this conversation, she describes her mental health career journey and how to balance it with her personal life, understanding what EMDR therapy is and how it helps with healing trauma, and her business and social work intersection. Join Vanessa De Jesus Guzman and Kathy Acosta in a conversation about how to break barriers and what we feel we are "trained" to do by connecting with others, discovering areas of growth, and exploring the business and mental health scope.
