What does it take to effect change in our communities? It takes money, for sure. It takes resources, of course. And it takes people like Tatiana Rohner del Sordo.
Tatiana is an immigrant from Colombia (she’s our third person of Colombian heritage on our podcast. We love Colombia!) When she moved to the US with her husband, her anxiety began to flare and she didn’t have her family and friends around to lean on, so she went to therapy. And then she realized how vital and how needed culture-affirming and trauma-informed therapy is. So, she became a therapist.
From there, she realized the therapy scarcity and the systemic barriers to accessing mental health resources that exist for certain communities, and she became an advocate.
As a bilingual therapist working in private practice and the nonprofit sector in Chicago, Tatiana has witnessed how wealth and privelage, or lack thereof, affect anxiety, depression, complex trauma and mental health challenges overall. As a passionate therapist and advocate for everyone needing mental healthcare, Tatiana speaks of the needs at a systemic level, the needs far beyond the hour on the couch.
She is brilliant. She is charming. And her community is lucky to have her on their side. Our guess is you’ll be as smitten with her as we are. Plus, wait until her familect to find out why her husband calls her The Monkey (spoiler alert: language is amazing!)
