Media mention: Delgado-Romero quoted in the Red & Black on free counseling clinic
Edward Anthony Delgado-Romero, associate dean and professor of counseling psychology, created a free counseling clinic—previously called ¡BIEN! Clinic—to fill a need in the Latinx community.
“[The clinic’s new name is] La Clinica in LaK’ech, from a Mayan greeting that means ‘you are my other me,'” Delgado-Romero said. “The team picked the name to emphasize that we believe in collective liberation, we are all in this together.”
The clinic opened in 2011, offering free counseling services under Delgado-Romero, a licensed psychologist, and his team of doctoral students in counseling psychology and social work. Each student is either bilingual or Latinx themselves, Delgado-Romero said.
