VIRTUAL REALITY THERAPY- Clinician's Corner- ft. Dr. Nikki Lacherza-Drew, PsyD

Clinician's corner is a series once a month, where I sit down with some of my colleagues that are also licensed therapists  to learn more about different types of therapy in an effort to help remove the stigma related to needing mental health services.  This series is also meant two lift the veil behind mental health so that you as my listening friends can learn about different types of therapy that could be a good fit for you.

This month's clinicians corner I had the privilege of  sitting down with Dr. Nikki and discuss all the details about a new type of therapy known as virtual reality therapy. I did the dirty work so that you don't have to, and break down what virtual reality therapy is, who is it for, what materials are needed and more.
