July is minority mental health month. In this weeks episode I got a chance to chat with Nia Ridgle. She is a Licensed Mental Health Faith-Based Therapist, currently residing in San Jose California. She is the owner of Ridgle Consulting. In addition to owning her private practice, Nia is a full-time practitioner at Kaiser Permanente Adult Psychiatry Department. Nia’s area of expertise primarily focuses on treating mental health symptoms such as: depression, trauma/PTSD, anxiety and transition. She believes when you make yourself the solution to your problems, you take back your power by taking full accountability to be the change you desire. Nia’s  life’s mission is to support and empower others while instilling foundational principles to help break unhealthy habits and repeating cycles. She finds when you reveal you, you heal.
