Colleen Slebzak

Trained first in cultural anthropology for my associates and bachelor’s degrees, I moved into the field of psychology hosting a deep veneration for multicultural perspectives in my personal and professional approaches to everything, anything, all things, I attempt to accomplish, in every action I take, and in every speech I espouse. I personify a global perspective with every conversation I hold. I am truly passionate about destroying language and cultural barriers to understand perspectives and experiences I will never know. Every human has something unique to offer a conversation, so I say, let them speak!
