You Can't Wear That!
Teaching kids about clothing choices: Embrace their individuality! Encourage self-expression, respect their preferences, and foster open conversations. Our words have meaning!

Dr. Slay on The Drs.
As a psychologist, I see my role as a provider of clinical service as well as an educator and advocate for the public. Access to valuable information often comes at price (rightfully so) and/or is written in clinical language that may not be understood by the public.
I prioritize dedicating part of my time to providing access to valuable information that has been inaccessible for many. I started working towards this goal by writing my blog for @psych_today and never thought it could lead to the opportunity to educate and support our communities on a national televised platform.
