Suicidality and Grief

In this episode of the Cultured Therapist, host R.C. Winters interviews Reginald Lemelle, a licensed professional counselor from Louisiana. After overcoming personal tragedies*, Reggie managed to transform his life's challenges into a career dedicated to helping others. Through humor and a deep understanding of vulnerability, Reggie connects authentically with his clients, encouraging them to embrace their own journeys. He discusses the importance of discomfort, both in life and therapy, and how it can lead to growth and healing. With an emphasis on transparency and collaboration, Reggie opens up about his journey and how it shapes his approach to therapy.

*If you or someone you know is suicidal, don't take it lightly. Get help now. Below is the suicide hotline as a start, but you can tell a trusted wise friend, or any safe person you trust, and even attend a hospital emergency room to stay safe. You are not alone. It can get better. But the first step is let others know - don't wait, reach out.

Suicide Hotline: 988
