"Before I jump into introducing the topics and motivation for this book, I think it is helpful to provide a sense of who I am, personally and professionally, and what perspective I bring because of my own intersectional identities and experiences. I identify as a woman of color, South Asian in my ethnicity and Saint Lucian as my nationality, immigrant, cis-gendered, straight, and able-bodied. I trained in traditional models of cognitive behavioral therapy during my graduate training at Boston University,specializing in anxiety-related disorders and substance use disorders, through additional training in the VA system during practicum and my internship at Brown Alpert Medical School. I have been fortunate to work with clients, therapists, trainees, and colleagues from a wide diversity of backgrounds both nationally and globally within the contexts of psychotherapy provision and clinical training in evidence-based approaches. My research has grown and morphed over time (similar to my cultural awareness and competency as a therapist), originating in traditional experimental and randomized controlled trial work, and landing squarely on my current preferred interests of community-based research that focuses on addressing health disparities for a range of diverse communities using a social justice and cross-cultural lens"--
