The Pregnant Therapist: Safety & Transference on an Inpatient Psychiatric Unit
EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE A NEW COLLABORATION!
Brave Beauty Support Spaces is a collaboration between longtime friends and colleagues; An accessible community where, together, we will safely uncover the connection between our mental health and feeling beautiful, inside and out. The unfortunate reality is that feeling beautiful on an everyday basis is a challenge for most women, for a variety of different reasons. With guidance from Ashley Kleinman Martinez, RDT, LCAT, LPC (Registered Drama Therapist, Licensed Creative Arts Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor) and Ashley Ann Capone (Beauty Activist with Beauty Marks NYC), we will explore a variety of women’s issues that pose challenges in finding, feeling, and creating beauty for ourselves and each other.
Together, we will learn how to navigate our new normal, assert new boundaries, and process contributing tramas; we will unlearn current beauty culture so we can reclaim and rebuild a new, empowering one that challenges societal standards. When we do the work to improve ourselves and our outlook, we will move the narrative forward for all of us and our children.

The Art You Are, created by Molly Dang, is an empowerment podcast of life stories that invites us to embrace our weird, messy and beautiful humanness. Sharing our unique stories is healing, empowering, and connecting. Listen, learn from, and connect to guests sharing about a wide range of life experiences. And maybe, just maybe, through owning our experiences, we can start to view ourselves as inherently valuable, a story worth telling, a work of art.
