Ask a Therapist

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Akua Boateng, Licensed Psychotherapist and Mental Health Consultant. Dr. Boateng was gracious enough to provide answers to some of the real-life questions that I had for her, and I believe the valuable information she shares is worth noting down.

Dr. Boateng is a captivating thought leader and psychological consultant. Her work extends beyond mental health treatment and integrates aspects of career and psychological consultation, which she has done for colleges, artists, young professionals, and non-profit organizations. Through speaking, consulting (organizational re-envisioning, leadership training, workshops, etc) and content writing for various organizations, she lends her psychological knowledge on topics such as emotional growth, professional development, resilience, effective leadership, relationships and spiritual enrichment.

In a nutshell, we speak about:

Extending self-love to yourself in times of feeling depressed and feeling sad.

How to bounce back (even after lying to your therapist).

Coping mechanisms to get over the loss of someone that's still alive.

Coping skills one can use after witnessing a relative have a near-death experience.

How to navigate mental health problems.

How to support your child if they are going through a gender identity issue.

... and so much more!

About LaToya D:

LaToya D. Newton is a quintessential Bronx girl, who is a healthy mix of Cardi B and Lena James, if you know you know. As the host of her own podcast The Analog Girl, LaToya shares her experiences with anxiety and her journey through recovery to emotional wellness. When LaToya is not raising awareness about anxiety as an advocate, a relaxing day for her is laughing at ridiculous memes on Instagram or watching episodes of 'A Different World'.
