Tina Kopko is a CA licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Advanced Certified Grief Recovery Specialist® . She's also a friend with whom I enjoy endless conversation as we hike the lovely local parks in the east bay hills. Today's conversation is an invitation to the listener to take stock of your own mental health. The emphasis in the media in the past 18 months has been mostly on physical health and well being but the enormous toll the past 18 months has had on our mental and emotional well being is every bit as concerning and far more difficult to assess. I hope you enjoy today's conversation and that it's useful to you. To learn more about Tina Kopko and her practice please visit her website at authenticitina.com. Tina Kopko, CA MFT License #53393
