Healthy Mind, Healthy Life

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we sit down with Dr. Rhonda Hodge, founder of Harmony Psychiatric Services, to explore how mental health care must evolve beyond traditional models in the aftermath of COVID-19. Dr. Rhonda shares how her integrative approach—combining medication, movement, nutrition, and community—addresses the whole person, not just the symptoms. From reducing stigma to empowering patients and creating safe, inclusive spaces for healing, this episode is packed with grounded insights on what mental health recovery really requires today.
