About
My name is Dr Liz Wangari Gichimu, a clinical psychologist based in Kenya. I have been a mental health practitioner for the past 10+ years with a kin interest in personal development. In the course of my studies and practice, I came to the realization that most of the mental health issues were conjoined to our historical experience with Colonialism and modern day neo-colonialism. However much of my socialization and education, which I hypothesize is similar to a majority of Kenyans, does/did not adequately equip one with the mental bandwidth or tools to draw from our history to shape our everyday life and subsequently our future, as most of it centers other narratives other than our struggles. History, as the great Psychologist Amos Wilson said, is now. If you do not have a grasp of where you have come from, you are bound to engage in behaviors and activities that are not in your best interest. History gives you not just an anchor with regards to identity but also coping mechanisms as well as an inoculation by filtering out for you what are helpful as well as unhelpful strategies in navigating life. It's on this backdrop that I have a keen interest on African psychology, both in research and practice.
