Our final episode of our Changemakers season is with Sarah Ahmed — a psychotherapist and CEO of Leena, a national mental health practice that addresses the unique needs of communities of color across Canada. She can be found sharing her expertise online @thepoctherapist through her popular accounts on Tiktok and Instagram.
Today, we’ll be talking to Sarah about why having access to therapists of color is so important, how her own background informs her approach and supports her clients, and the importance of community for healing trauma.
Joining me in the co-host seat is my childhood friend Samia Zitawi, who is Palestinian American.
