The Texas Conference on Student Success is thrilled to announce the 2023 keynote speaker: Dr. Raé N. Lundy. Dr. Lundy is a licensed clinical psychologist, mental health activist, higher education administrator, and TEDx Speaker.
The journey that led Dr. Lundy to pursue such a diverse path was inspired by personal experiences of depression followed by years of working with young people in higher education. Dr. Lundy designed a self-care model of services encouraging individuals to invest time and attention into their mental health. Her work is comprised of methods that decrease stress and guard against mental fatigue.
“I have always been passionate about helping people,” she said. “I decided to go into psychology because it allowed me to learn about how people think, how they react to situations and how they grow.” She adds, “the goal of being a psychologist is helping people thrive and be the best they can be.”
In 2018, Dr. Lundy developed Healthy Hearts Counseling & Coaching, which provides mental health services for clients to achieve healthy relationships, emotional balance and personal goals. Her experience has taken her across the country engaging audiences as a public speaker. The insights she has acquired inspired her to cultivate the identity and forum known as The Self Care Doc. This platform represents the passion of one individual whose research and clinical experiences have led her to develop a vision that benefits us all: self-care is the future of mental health.
Dr. Lundy’s goal is to remind us that caring for ourselves in a way that supports a dynamic mindset, creates the necessary space to live a healthier lifestyle.
