Meet Your Instructor

Dr. Leo Candalario-Perez, Ph.D, L.P.

I am a bilingual (Spanish and English) Latinx clinical psychologist, licensed in the state of Minnesota. I have extensive specialized training in addressing sexual health concerns, and have worked with people of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations and gender identities for many years. My clinical interests include sexual dysfunction, problematic sexual behavior, gender identity, LGBTQI sexual health and sexual well-being within relationships.

Key learning objectives for this section:

  1. Learn about the ways in which mental health and entrepreneurship can intersect with and influence one another.

  2. Listen to queer entrepreneurs of color share their stories related to running small businesses and managing mental health.
