Episode description
Join us in this episode to learn about what therapists go through when working in mental health organizations, the obstacles of a private practice, and the added weight of facing them as a woman of color.
In this episode, I interview Melissa Bada-Devers, a holistic psychotherapist practicing in New York adn New Jersey. We discuss the current situations of professionals looking to find a place to work within the system, the adversities regarding respectable pay and recognition, and the different loops one must jump when working with insurance companies and other entities.
Melissa shares her own journey about reclaiming her position and shares insight for listeners both inside and out the health system.
