In this powerful episode of ChamberTalk, host Andrew Gregson sits down with Cari Teran M.S., LMFT, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Healing To You. From her roots as a licensed marriage and family therapist to launching a first-of-its-kind mobile healthcare service for domestic violence survivors, Cari shares her deeply personal and professional journey.

With 25+ years of experience, she’s seen firsthand how barriers in mental and physical healthcare disproportionately impact vulnerable communities, especially children and families. That’s why she’s flipping the script, bringing comprehensive care directly to shelters through mobile clinics. Cari reveals how this innovative model provides primary medical care, mental health support, and rapid health screenings where they’re needed most.

But this isn’t just a conversation about healthcare, it’s about breaking cycles of trauma, advocating for systemic change, and ensuring that no one is left behind. From her work with the California Child Abduction Task Force to the power of trauma-informed care, Cari’s insights challenge us to rethink how and where healing happens.
