From mental health myths and treatment breakdowns to provider burnout and work-life balance, Mariah and Byeolah offer a candid, down-to-earth take on the realities of practicing psychiatry today.
Real conversations in mental health—beyond the couch.
Welcome to Psych PAs On Call—a mental health podcast hosted by Mariah Echevarria, PA-C and Byeolah Henson, PA-C, two passionate and experienced Physician Assistants at Apogee Behavioral Medicine. In this bi-weekly podcast, Mariah and Byeolah dive deep into the real-world challenges and rewards of practicing psychiatry today. They tackle important topics like depression, anxiety, trauma, medication management, and the growing need for compassionate, accessible mental health care. But it’s not just about clinical insights, they also explore the human side of working in behavioral medicine, from work-life balance and burnout to navigating professional growth.
Each episode brings a thoughtful mix of personal stories, evidence-based knowledge, and conversations with fellow mental health professionals and leaders in the field. Their goal? To break down stigma, educate listeners, and offer a genuine behind-the-scenes look at psychiatry through the lens of those practicing it every day.
