## Resource

In this episode Dr. Ben welcomes Kelli Foulkrod, a holistic trauma therapist, mental health advocate, researcher, and psych drug withdrawal consultant based in Austin, Texas (and virtually in Colorado). She has been working in the mental health field for 23 years and for the past 16 years, she has managed a holistic psychotherapy practice. Kelli is passionate about holistic alternatives to mainstream mental health treatments, and helping people to exit the mental health system all together. Before becoming a therapist, she worked as a clinical researcher in universities and psychiatric hospitals as well as residential substance abuse treatment centers and in psychology clinics as a psychometrist. It was her time working as a research clinician on studies bringing ssris to market that shifted her career. Instead of diagnosing and drugging people, Kelli learned that providing education on trauma, the body, and root cause solutions was the way to ensure people don’t get trapped as life long customers in the mental health system.
