Our First Episode | Interview with Dr. Funnies

In this episode, we welcome Celine Barron, owner of the Instagram page @waitimthetherapist and a young clinical social worker who is passionate about debunking the stigma and humanizing mental health clinicians. Celine’s objective as a therapist is to create a safe, supportive therapeutic environment to aid her clients in their healing process and reach set goals. She feels that therapy works best when it is non-traditional, creative, and collaborative. Come with us as we discuss the differences between social work and therapy, how it is to work with teen clients, how therapists’ experience with their own mental health influences their work, and much more!  With a candid and easygoing take on her experience, Celine shows us her passion for her work, which resonates with mental health workers and clients alike.

On our first-ever podcast episode, we introduce our hosts - Chris and Renata, and explain their journey of demystifying therapy! We also interview the amazing Dr. Funnies, the brain behind the Instagram meme page @mentalhealthfunnies, who is also a therapist with a doctorate in clinical psychology with over 17 years of experience. This episode contains topics that clients and mental health workers alike have wondered about - How do you know therapy is working? How do you deal with imposter syndrome? How can the therapist better help the client? Dr. Funnies also shares some powerful and personal life stories and lessons she learned over the years, and how that has impacted her as a therapist.
