Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Facilitation
The Importance of Considering Spiritual and Religious Diversity in Mental Health
Geeti facilitated a discussion on the topic of Mental Health and Spirituality for a diversity presentation for graduate level mental health trainees. Geeti thoughtfully and collaboratively engaged others in meaningful dialogues around issues of diversity and inclusion. Elements of the discussion were unpredictable, at times there was concern about how it would all turn out. Geeti’s ability to facilitate the discussion in an engaging way was like the sun coming out after a storm, warming the people involved through enlightenment and shared wisdom.

Speaking Engagements
Mental Health in the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Community
I invited Geeti to speak to our employees as a part of AAPI Month and Mental Health awareness month. She was an incredible collaborator and the session was very thoughtful. She offered her own experiences to connect with our audience about how and why she pursued her work, how she caters to her clients especially those that are Asian-identified, and ways in which we can all help break down the stigma attached to mental health and well-being especially in AAPI communities.
Samantha Hsieh, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Program Manager at The Knot Worldwide
Geeti's presentation on the AAPI community and mental health was very enlightening for my teammates and me. She walked us through the context of why this community often has a stigma on seeking mental health support and why those resources are more important now than ever in light of the rise in recent hate crimes and discrimination following the outbreak of Covid-19. She educates with empathy and creates an open space to explore difficult topics in a diverse office setting.

Mentorship for Mental Health Practitioners
Geeti has been a mentor and a role model to me since 2016. She is gentle, intuitive, authentic, and approachable and deeply cares about those she is working with. Her guidance and willingness to share her own experiences and connections led me to discovering my own passion and interests within the mental health field. Now as a young professional, she has supported me in identifying my professional goals and finding my place within the field, especially as a woman of color. She has also brilliantly integrated her many specialities and skills into her professional work which has been inspirational and motivating for me. Geeti has so much wisdom to offer and I highly recommend working with her!
