Check Your Head | All Souls Counseling Center

It doesn’t seem all that long ago that people bottled up their mental health struggles or got real about them only with a therapist, if at all. Today, much of the stigma is lifted but, for many, access to quality mental health care remains elusive.

My guests today are Meredith Switzer, the executive director; and Brendan Hughes, the development director, for the nonprofit All Souls Counseling Center. We talk about how the demand for counseling has climbed with and since the pandemic, how the circumstances and needs of All Souls' clientele have evolved and how All Souls is addressing the racial and cultural barriers that can challenge access to quality mental healthcare.
