In this episode of Warm Embers, I sit down with Dr. Jill Fish, a member of the Tuscarora Nation, to have an honest and uplifting conversation about mental health, healing, and therapy. We discuss what to expect when starting therapy, the importance of culturally grounded healing, and the courage it takes to seek support.I chose to feature Dr. Fish in honor of Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, to shine a light on the power of community, conversation, and care.Whether you’re considering therapy for the first time, supporting a loved one, or seeking new perspectives on wellness, this conversation offers guidance, reflection, and hope.✨ If you or someone you know is struggling, you are not alone. Call or text 988 in the U.S. for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.----Jill Fish is a licensed psychologist and owner of Fish Psychotherapy & Consulting.
