About Dr. Hsu
Teresa Hsu, PhD, is the Founder and Executive Director of S.P.E.A.K., a Supportive Place for Empowering Asian Americans & Kin, which focuses on Asian American mental health and wellness through education, destigmatization, research, and services. She currently holds a dual appointment as an Assistant Professor of General Academic Pediatrics and Assistant Professor of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
As the former Assistant Director of the Pediatric Behavioral Health Integration Program at Montefiore Medical Center, she helped establish one of the largest pediatric integrated behavioral health primary care programs in the nation. Her research focuses on collaborative care, prevention, and population health in diverse, historically marginalized communities. I'm passionate about making mental health accessible to the AANHPI community, which is often marginalized in behavioral health research and practice.
