About

Your psychological makeup is about more than just your emotions and biology--the cultural, political and economic contexts of your life are important influencing factors. Clinical psychologist Dr. Thema Bryant explains why psychologists and other mental health professionals need to attend to your individual and collective identity, as well as experiences of oppression, to truly help with your mental healthcare needs.
