In this episode of Calmly Coping, I had the pleasure of chatting with Reba Buhr, an author, actress, host, voiceover artist, and mental health advocate who's on a mission to help people overcome barriers to mental health care. She shares her own journey with anxiety and panic attacks, and how she became an advocate for mental health services. We also talked about the importance of breaking down stigma and fear surrounding mental health, and Reba gives practical tips for those new to seeking help, including coping strategies and navigating insurance. This is a super informative and insightful conversation that you won't want to miss!

About Reba:

She uses her instagram @get.thee.to.a.therapist to educate people about accessing mental health services and how to overcome the stigma, fear and other barriers to care that keep people from finding the healing they deserve.
