Today we sit down with Sahaj Kohli, a practicing therapist, writer, and speaker on a mission to make mental health care more diverse, equitable,accessible, and inclusive. As the first in her family to do a lot of things — be born in the West, go to therapy, and marry outside of her religion/race/culture — Sahaj has a unique understanding regarding the struggles of children of immigrants and uses her personal experiences to create original resources and content for this underserved population.
She is the founder of Brown Girl Therapy, the first and largest mental health and wellness community organization for children of immigrants. Sahaj takes her role as a community advocate seriously, and through her career development, she has taken on additional roles as speaker, consultant, and educator.
With a background in journalism, Sahaj continues to write as a freelancer in the weekly advice column with The Washington Post. Her new book But What Will People Say? is out now, which she beautifully discusses with us in today’s episode. You can follow along with her @browngirltherapy and find her book wherever books are sold.
