About this episode
Welcome Back to Season 7 of the Queens of Social Work Podcast!
In our premiere episode, we’re diving into a timely and impactful topic: the loneliness of the social media age. Joining us is our friend and colleague, Queen J—Jirzia Blackman, LCSW-R, LCSW-S, the Founder and CEO of Rhapsody Counseling and Wellness Center.
As technology continues to shape our lives, feelings of disconnection and isolation are on the rise. Together, we explore the challenges of maintaining genuine connections in a digital world, how social media affects mental health and what social workers can do to foster authentic relationships in their personal lives and with their clients.
Queen J shares her expertise and insights as a licensed clinical social worker in Texas and New York, and her journey toward earning her PsyD. To learn more about her practice, visit www.rhapsodycounseling.com
Tune in now and join the conversation on how we can navigate the intersection of technology, relationships and mental health!
