About the podcast

Mental health without taboos

Latino Mindset Podcast is a space about mental health, psychology, therapy and emotional well-being for the Latino community. We speak without taboos or judgment about anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, relationships, family, trauma and identity.

From a close, human and real perspective, we talk with therapists about the emotional conflicts that many Latinos live in silence. Our purpose is to normalize therapy and create a space where you feel seen, heard and accompanied.

Es una iniciativa de Progressive Medical Center y Restore Mind Foundation. De momento nos encuentras en YouTube, y pronto en todas las plataformas.
