Elevating La Cultura Podcast
Welcome to Elevating la Cultura Podcast®.
A space where I talk with Latinas who are passionate about what they do and are willing to share that passion with others to change the narrative especially for the next generation. Each season is centered around different topics but all with the Latina perspective. Welcome to season 12 where starting off sharing my summer plans & chatting with amazing leaders. I’m so excited to share these powerful conversations, SO vamonos, and lets get into it.
Elevating La Cultura Podcast
Dr. Mae Lynn Reyes-Rodríguez: Making mental health care fit women’s real lives by closing cultural, linguistic, and access gaps.
Dr. Mae Lynn Reyes-Rodríguez is a clinical psychologist and Associate Director of Inpatient Psychological Services at the UNC School of Medicine. Her professional goals are focused and straightforward: make mental health care fit women’s real lives by closing cultural, linguistic, and access gaps. A former NIMH postdoctoral fellow who adapted cognitive behavioral therapy for Latinas, she now brings that same precision to perinatal mental health as a co-investigator on the MomGenes study. She is committed to practical, evidence-based tools for all mothers while offering a deep, bilingual understanding of Latina and immigrant families. She hopes to expand bilingual screening and education, reduce stigma around postpartum depression, and train clinicians to deliver culturally relevant care across communities.
Please enjoy our conversation!
