287: Deepening Cultural Competency in Therapy - with Dr. Zachary Trevino, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist & Director of Clinical Training

Hi all! Please keep in mind that this episode was recorded a few months ago, and the intro was recorded early last week. I want to hold space for anyone affected by issues occurring globally - especially for the immigrants that make this country what it is and for fellow Iranians waiting to hear from loved ones as they flee their home.

To introduce this week's guest: Dr. Trevino is a Texas-based Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist whose private practice specializes in men’s mental well-being and relational therapy. He is also the Director of Clinical Training at Antioch University Seattle's Couple and Family Therapy Program, where he is dedicated to shaping the next generation of mental health professionals. 

Passionate about breaking down stigma, Dr. Trevino leverages his social media platforms to normalize mental health discussions, encouraging honest and open dialogue that empowers individuals to prioritize their wellness.

In this episode, we dive deep into the topic of men's mental health, diverse representation within the mental health field, and cultural stigma around vulnerability and seeking therapy. We explore what it can look like to find the right therapist fit, one that either can resonate with your lived experience or approaches it with genuine curiosity. We also discuss the importance of culturally competent care and the responsibility of therapists to address larger societal issues that impact their clients, rather than avoiding them.
