Karen Rothstein Pineda Is Speaking (About Therapy)

She is back for Season 4! I Am Speaking's Resident Therapist, Karen Rothstein Pineda, is here to talk some Therapy Basics. We talk about therapist credentialing, some important questions to ask yourself and your therapist, what might be going through a therapist's mind during your first few sessions, and why your therapist might not acknowledge you if you see them at the grocery store. Also, we discuss what NOT to yell at Karen if you see her at the pool this summer. 

As always, she is filled with knowledge and illuminating insight. We love all our conversations with Karen, and she once again proves herself to be a vital member of the I Am Speaking team.

If you are looking for a therapist, a few places to start: Psychology Today, Therapy Den, Therapy for Black Girls, Latinx Therapy, Open Path or South Asian Therapists are all websites that have search tools for therapists. Also, you can ask your doctor for a recommendation.
