From Detours to Healing: Dr. Roxanne Richards on Trauma, Purpose, and Mental Health

Roxanne Richards, Ph.D. didn’t start her journey in mental health—she found her way there after exploring several different careers, each one bringing her a step closer to her true purpose. In this episode of 𝐹𝘳𝑜𝘭𝑖𝘤 𝘢𝑛𝘥 𝘋𝑒𝘵𝑜𝘶𝑟, she opens up about that winding path and the powerful lessons she’s learned along the way.


We talk about the lasting emotional impact of COVID-19, the rising rates of trauma, and why so many people—especially in communities of color—are now recognizing the need for therapy. Dr. Richards shares her thoughts on when it’s okay to seek therapy privately, and when it might be more helpful to bring loved ones into the process.


Dr. Richards also discusses the work she’s doing through her YouTube channel to make mental health conversations more accessible and relatable. Whether you’re feeling stuck, curious about therapy, or just in need of a little inspiration, this conversation is for you.
