Coffee with Courage
Coffee with Courage
Patricia Contreras
I'm a Marriage & Family Therapist with a love for coffee, adventure, science and who believes healing & love is for everyone. This podcast is for those who just want to learn how to care for their body, mind & spirit. I will share my experiences as a wife, mom, friend, & give psychoeducational tips for self improvement. I'll have guests who can share their love for mental, emotional and spiritual health. This is not therapy nor a substitute for therapy, it is simply educational. I like to think of this as the memoirs of an MFT. So, grab a cup of coffee and let your mind be filled with courage.
