Episode 115 – Welcome to another episode of the Latino Business Report. If you’re tuning in for the first time — gracias and bienvenidos! You can explore our full library of episodes anytime at LatinoBusinessReport.com.

In this episode, we’re having an open and insightful conversation about Latinos and Mental Health. Our guest is one of my favorites and a familiar voice on the show — certified psychotherapist Laura Ramirez from Houston, Texas.

Laura sheds light on the cultural stigmas that often hold Latinos back from seeking Therapy and offers practical ways to challenge those beliefs. Together, we’ll explore how we can shift perspectives, normalize conversations around mental health, and embrace healthier ways of caring for ourselves and our families.

So sit back, relax, and let’s dive in.
