In this episode, Dr. Jamie sits down with Dr. Sienna Windsor, a clinician whose work beautifully integrates research, cultural humility, and real-world clinical insight. Sienna shares her experiences supporting families from diverse backgrounds through parent coaching, naturalistic intervention strategies, and collaborative goal setting. Together, they explore how to make parent-mediated intervention feel responsive, empowering, and culturally aligned—especially when providers slow down to listen deeply, build rapport, and remain flexible. Sienna opens up about her own learning journey as a clinician, and the importance of bringing authenticity and openness to each family relationship. The episode also highlights themes of intersectionality, respectful communication, and how systems can better support equitable access to care.
