She then received postdoctoral training at the San Francisco VA Health Care System specializing in PTSD and co-occurring substance use disorders with an emphasis on teaching and supervision, and moral injury among combat veterans. Her clinical and research expertise include: PTSD and co-occurring substance use disorders, race-based traumatic stress and the impact of racial discrimination on mental health in the Black community, and culturally informed evidence-based practice.  Dr. Cottonham is a licensed psychologist in California and currently serves as the Clinical Manager of Culturally Responsive Care at Lyra Health. D
Dr. Cottonham’ s work is rooted in her experience as a Black woman who was born and raised in southern Louisiana. She has a passion for destigmatizing mental health in marginalized communities and cultivating spaces that promote connection, authenticity, and healing.

Post-2020, mental health providers find themselves more central to the healing of our clients than ever before. As many clients demand spaces that see and hold the oppression they face, some providers may find themselves asking what skills they can learn to responsibly and respectfully acknowledge the experiences of cultural oppression presented to them.
This presentation will cover key foundational concepts of culturally responsive care and discuss best practices for integrating an anti-oppressive approach into your clinical practice. The overall goal is to strengthen the knowledge base of participants while also increasing self-efficacy around providing culturally responsive care.
