Karin Heller, MSW is a behavior medicine specialist at Kaiser Permanente in San Francisco. She has worked with teenagers in inpatient, residential and outpatient settings for many years and conducts workshops on coming out issues.
She is a graduate of Smith College School for Social Work and has been a psychotherapist for over 20 years. When she began to make this video, she noticed there was a dearth of information about the issue of coming out for adolescents and their families, and that they were at high risk for suicide. She currently works primarily with adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, coming out issues and other mental health and physical challenges.
