In today’s conversation, we discuss how as first generation latinx people we are breaking the mold, leaning into the discomfort, and continuously asking questions. We share about childhood experiences that have transformed the way that we view ourselves within our circles today. Our guest, Hermino (JG) Gonzalez shares about his heritage, navigating his Guatemalan and Mexican roots, and being a modern day #GirlDad.

Therapy, Etc.
The Therapy, Etc. Podcast is a bi-monthly conversation with Patricia Alvarado, a licensed mental health therapist in Los Angeles, CA. Within Therapy, Etc., Patricia uses her clinical skills along with everyday situations to help normalize mental health and decrease the stigma related to mental health services. As a first generation Mexican American Latinx woman, she has noticed that many everyday experiences encompass mental health. As she began to lean into the question, “are you analyzing me?” she discovered that the movies that we watch, food that we eat, the way that we take care of ourselves, among other things, share one common thing: mental health. Join her as she explores various topics through the lens of a first generation Latinx woman and digs deep into all things mental health.
