Mind, Body, and Soul: An Interview with Aundi Kolber

"I don’t separate my faith from my work. It is because I believe that Jesus is who he says he is that I’m a therapist. It is exactly because I believe that God is the author of healing that I do the work that I do."

Listen in on WAP associate Caroline Triscik’s conversation with Licensed Professional Counselor Aundi Kolber. A survivor of trauma herself, Aundi Kolber invites us to consider how to tend to our mental health in the midst of life in academia. As a trauma-informed clinician, Aundi offers knowledge about the impact of trauma on our overall health and narrative as well as wisdom about when and how to seek professional counseling. As a person of faith in Christ, Aundi shares with us the way her faith impacts her work as a counselor and how her understanding of psychology has shaped her faith.

You can listen on iTunes or at All Shall Be Well: Conversations with Women in the Academy and Beyond. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.
