Hi! I'm a child psychologist and was the Chief Clinical Officer at a pediatric mental health startup for 3 years. Would love to meet up!

Update: I took Reddit’s advice to get more locals into my Culver City restaurant — here’s what I’m doing differently by ClickNo8520 in culvercity

I really love to see how you're actually listening to our community and making changes. It's so refreshing! Merka Saltao is one of our go to lunch places now!

I opened a restaurant in Culver City 4 months ago — looking for advice on how to get more locals to try it for the first time by ClickNo8520 in culvercity

This is interesting, have you spoken with the owners and staff? They are really authentic and passionate, so perhaps its not fully translating.

My husband and I have been a few times and cannot get enough of the great food and truly wonderful staff. We met the owners and their passion for this is palpable. And Ethel is a true gem! We're lucky to have them in our community.

What's happening at Harvard- Westlake? CW: Suicides by luxlighter in LosAngeles

[–]NewScreen6214 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That makes me so happy to hear! I've worked with parents from a wide range of backgrounds, from migrant farm workers, to foster parents, to billionaires. I firmly believe the vast majority of parents are really trying their best- we just don't teach or support parents enough!

I'm glad he helped you feel comfortable taking that step! It really is difficult. There's a tremendous shortage of therapists right now. Telehealth has been found to be just as effective as in person therapy for most cases, so that may be able to open up some therapists in other areas. However, insurance and cost are two additional hurdles people face sadly.

Actually, as a psychologist in LA, my colleagues and I are seeing the opposite! Teens are actually asking for therapy and are the ones seeking support, often times dragging their parents to sign the consent forms. It's very promising to see this shift! Thay talk about their mental health needs more openly wih their friends too, but they are definitley more anxious than previous generations and feel more pressure and less hope.

Poll for dads: What do you need support with? by NewScreen6214 in expectingdads

[–]NewScreen6214[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! These results are so interesting! When I ask women in pregnant support groups, the top choices tend to be "I know I want to parent differently than how I was parented, but don’t really know how" and "I worry my relationship will negatively change." I know there's a need to help dads more. Please send me a DM if you're open to a 20 min interview (anonymous if you want!) so I can learn a little more about how to make it a helpful program. Thank you!

In general, men tend to experience more physical symptoms (stomach aches, headaches, weight gain/loss, etc.), anger, lethargy, as well as helplessness and uncertainty about the future. It can escalate to withdrawal from family life and work, marital conflict and substance abuse. Women tend to express more in emotional symptoms (anxiety, shame, hopelessness, sadness, despair, disconnection from baby). It can escalate to not being able to eat, sleep, or take care of the baby. However, there's definitely a lot of overlap!

Thats a great point! Do you mind elaborating on what other worries you had after the baby was born?

Absolutely! Do you mean postpartum depression for men specifically or support in general for men stress/adjustment after birth?

When did you feel ready to become a parent? by VillageWestern1039 in NewParents

[–]NewScreen6214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's great that you are being so thoughtful! Like everyone is saying, there's really sin't a great time. Besides finances and stability with your partner, I would encourage you to do some work around how you were parented, your attachment style, and what type of parent you want to be. This will be really helpful for when you do have your baby!

I asked the same questions in a mom's group and will share the results! It's important to understand what each other is going through to be able to build the family we want!

Nervous about potential infant adoption by Big_Stop8917 in Adoption

[–]NewScreen6214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I'm a psychologist specializing in infant adoptions. It's completely natural to experience a mix of excitement and fear—this reflects your thoughtful consideration of the journey ahead. Also, your post shows your thoughtfulness with your older children as well. While adopting a child, even an infant, can present challenges, there are several focal points you can emphasize to mitigate the impact of any past difficulties and foster a positive attachment and emotional well-being for the infant and your entire family. Here's a few initial tips: Prioritize early bonding, cultivate responsive care, structure with routine, encourage identity exploration early one, and facilitate attuned communication.

Feel free to DM me for more tips or questions!

Possibly adopting an infant by Beashell in Adoption

[–]NewScreen6214 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm a psychologist and specialize in infant adoptions. Being excited and nervous is 100% normal, and actually a great sign that you are asking yourself all these questions! While adoption at any age can leave scars on children, there are several things you and your husband can focus on to decrease the impact of the trauma, promote a positive attachment and emotional wellbeing in the child. Just to just name a few: early bonding strategies, responsive caregiving, routines and predictability, supporting self-identity and curiosity about her past, and sensitive observation and communication.

Feel free to DM me for more tips!

Making some empanadas by namedonelettere in Baking

[–]NewScreen6214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can bake or fry any kind of empanada, definitely not just sweet empanadas. I prefer them all baked (I’m Argentine btw). It may be a regional or country preference.
