“As a Latino clinical social worker, I learned from Maiah how to hold and honor the complexity of my own identity and those of my clients while intentionally keeping their mental health and well-being in mind […] I consider her a valuable mentor in shaping my experience as a Therapist of Color who plans on being a clinical supervisor and teacher one day and takes seriously the topics of anti-racism, decolonization, and relational clinical work.”
