This episode is the first in our special mini-series, Access to Care. Many times on this program, we talk about the importance of therapy. However, we acknowledge that therapy is a privilege, and is not always accessible or affordable to those that need it most. I’ve invited some of my previous guests to talk about access to care: where to find affordable therapy, and the tools and resources that are available, should therapy not be accessible.
Today we welcome back therapist Lisa Gajda. Lisa was a professional dancer for over 30 years, appearing in 18 Broadway shows. She specializes in anxiety, depression, trauma, performing artists, parenting and relational issues.
Lisa and I discuss the importance of community and she offers some guidelines for artists who are interested in creating their own support groups, in addition to resources for low-cost therapy.
