Season 1, Episode 3, "I Hate My Therapist"

Once you’ve accepted that something needs to change, you have to find a place to start. Psychiatrist and SAAFC Director of Education and Development, Dr. Nithya Cherukuru joins Sonalee and Rupal to provide guidance on how to find the right fit when you seek out a mental health provider. They discuss the difference between types of mental health providers and common questions that people have about starting therapy or medication such as: do I need to find a South Asian therapist? The Desi Doubts podcast—brought to you by the explosive and wildly successful 501(3)(c) nonprofit South Asian Americans for Change—tackles stigmas, limiting beliefs and misinformation that come with being South Asian. Cohosts Sonalee Joshi, PhD (researcher, therapist, writer, visual artist) and Rupal Joshi (Co-founder of SAAFC, lawyer, single mom) delve deep in to conversations that are filled with laughs, tips backed by expertise and research, and real lived experience, so you can reframe your mindset on mental health and wellness to live your BEST life, on your OWN terms (not based on stigmas and misinformation that no longer serve us).
